1. Sweet Potato Bites

Let’s be honest, sweet potatoes are a Thanksgiving staple. Try serving them into bite-sized snacks this year. Slice sweet potatoes into rounds, add olive oil and roast them until tender. When done cooking, top with a spoonful of cranberry sauce and chopped pecans. Adding brown sugar is up to you, but these bites are a delightful combination of sweet and savory.
