Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes peeled and cut into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper or to taste
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon crumbled
  • 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt for topping
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives chopped

Equipment

  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Football-shaped cookie cutter (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Use a small football-shaped cookie cutter to cut shapes from the sweet potato rounds. If you don't have one, trim the rounds into an oval shape with a knife.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato footballs with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  4. Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway, until tender and lightly crisped.
  5. Remove from the oven and sprinkle evenly with shredded cheddar cheese and crumbled bacon.
  6. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Let cool slightly. Transfer sour cream to a small baggie, snip the corner, and pipe 'laces' onto each football. Garnish with fresh chives and serve warm.
