Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup arrowroot powder
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Boil the chunks in a pot of water for about 15 minutes or until tender.
Drain the potatoes and mash them in a large bowl until smooth and free of lumps.
Add arrowroot powder, coconut flour, olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the mashed potatoes. Mix well to form a dough that holds together.
Form the dough into a ball and roll it out on a piece of parchment paper to about 1/2 inch thickness.
Use a round cookie cutter or the rim of a glass to cut out circles from the dough.
Using the tip of a small spoon or a drinking straw, make two eyes in each circle. Then, using a larger tool like the edge of a spoon, carve a small smile beneath the eyes.
Carefully place the smiley faces onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and crisp.
Allow to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving. Enjoy your Paleo Smiley Face Potatoes warm with your favorite dip!
