viral accordion sweet potatoes… how FUN are these?! Make them over the holidays with @bakosweet potatoes 🙌 [#ad] Here’s how: 🔪 Peel 4 sweet potatoes then cut into 1/2 inch slices 🥢 Add chopsticks next to slices then make small horizontal cuts, flip, then make diagonal cuts. The chopstick makes it so you don’t cut through all the way 🍠 Spray with oil, add seasonings of your choice, and bake at 425ºF for 40 minutes - gently flipping halfway through. You can also air fry at 400ºF for 15-17 minutes. I love dipping in a quick aioli whipped together with… 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1/4 cup light mayo, 2 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp maple syrup, 1 tsp garlic, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika Bako Sweet bags contain sweet potatoes that are all the same size, which is ideal so the baking times are consistent! Sweet potatoes are also packed with beneficial nutrients like vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, and fiber. SAVE this impressive recipe to make for Thanksgiving! #bakosweet #accordionpotatoes #thanksivingside

These teriyaki air fried snap peas have become my new healthy snack to have on repeat. I like to line my air fryer basket with a small piece of foil before using cooking spray and adding the snap peas. Ingredients you can pronounce with as little additives as possible I love to use Target’s Sesame Teriyaki Sauce. There are great gluten-free options too such as Primal Kitchen’s No Soy Teriyaki Sauce or G Hughes Sugar Free Teriyaki Marinade.
