Tater tots—a greasy, crispy, guilty pleasure food that brings me back to my childhood when I would look forward to having a side of tots from the cafeteria. Unfortunately, we won't be seeing tater tots on any superfoods list in the future, but lucky for us sweet potatoes are full of nutrients and health benefits.

As a big fan of everything in tot form, I went on a quest to find a version of tater tots that were ~all natural~. These rosemary tater tots are light and healthy, but they still satisfy tot cravings. Serve 'em up.
