    Sweet Potato Casserole Bites

    All of the delicious spice and sweetness from the classic sweet potato casserole, turned into an easy Thanksgiving sweet potato appetizer. Your guests ( and even your sweet-potato-hating husband, or mabyethatsjustme ) will love my Sweet Potato Casserole Bites.

    Sweet Potato Casserole Bites

    I've always had a love affair with sweet potatoes, and I've always been convinced that they are nature's perfect snack.  Growing up, I remember my mother leaving cooked sweet potatoes wrapped up on top of the oven, and I'd grab one passing through the kitchen, peel it like a banana, and walk around the house eating it plain.

    Sweet potatoes are perfect.

    Sweet potatoes need nothing else.

    But you may remember from my last post ( Chocolate White Russians, y'all! ), that I strongly feel that it's 100% okay to gild the lily every once and a while.  Or like, a lot.  Whatever feels right to you.

    What I love about these little sweet potato casserole bites is that they don't go too crazy with a bunch of "stuff".  Just a little bit of spice, and a few mini marshmallows perched atop a roasted, hearty sweet potato round, make this appetizer super easy, and just sweet enough so that even the most fervent sweet potato hater will be tempted to try them... and then try four more.

    I know a ton of people add nuts to their sweet potato casserole, but I'm just not a huge fan of pecans ( the classic choice ), so I decided to go without.  Of course, if pecans are your jam, you can absolutely top each of these with one for a bit of crunch.

      You leave the skins on? Are they peeled off to eat? I am curious about this because I normally do not like the skin and area around the skin on a sweet potato. Thanks.

        I leave the skins on and eat them with no problem. I doubt the rounds would stay together as they baked without the skins.

      Can you really eat the peel?

        Absolutely! When the slices are so thin you don't even notice it. Although admittedly, I have no issue eating the peel even on a whole potato.

      They look good, but I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around marshmallows as an appetizer. A dessert??? No problem. An appetizer??? Not so much.

        Haha, well then you don't have to serve them as an appetizer! 🙂
