If you enjoy a savoury snack, look no further than this yogurt bowl. Protein- and probiotic-rich yogurt is topped with spiced sweet potatoes, pumpkin seeds, and a drizzle of olive oil and cilantro. A little prep goes a long way toward making this a convenient and satisfying snack. Cook the potatoes in advance so the bowl can be quickly assembled at snack time.
Savoury Spiced Sweet Potatoes
Peel and dice 1 medium-sized sweet potato. Toss in bowl with 1 Tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil, 1/2 tsp (2 mL) cumin, and 1/4 tsp (1 mL) hot Spanish paprika. Cook in preheated air fryer for 10 minutes at 350 F (180 C) or on parchment-lined baking tray for 25 minutes in 375 F (190 C) oven. Allow potatoes to cool and then store, covered, in fridge for up to 4 days. Makes enough for 4 servings.
Adaptation inspiration
Take this idea and make it work with other convenient savoury toppings such as canned chickpeas, cherry tomatoes, or cucumbers.
