Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound)
• 1 cup bread crumbs
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade)
• Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)

How to Make Crispy Sweet Potato Rolls

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool slightly.
3. Once cooled, peel the sweet potatoes and place the flesh in a mixing bowl. Mash until smooth.
4. Add granulated sugar, melted butter, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined.
5. Take a small portion of the sweet potato mixture (about 2 tablespoons) and shape it into a log. Roll it in bread crumbs until fully coated. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
6. Place the rolled sweet potato logs on the baking sheet. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
7. While the rolls are baking, warm the caramel sauce on the stove or in the microwave until it reaches a pourable consistency.
8. Once the rolls are crispy, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Drizzle warm caramel sauce over the rolls and dust with powdered sugar if desired.
9. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the sweet potatoes are fully cooked and tender for the best texture.
• Use fresh bread crumbs for optimal crispiness.
• For an extra touch, add chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the sweet potato mixture before rolling.

Easy Variations

• Substitute the caramel sauce with chocolate sauce for a different flavor profile.
• Add spices like nutmeg or ginger to the sweet potato mixture for a warm, spiced flavor.
• Try using phyllo dough instead of bread crumbs for an even flakier texture.

What to Serve With It

• Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a creamy contrast.
• Fresh fruit, like berries or sliced apples, for a refreshing side.
• A cup of hot coffee or tea to complement the sweetness of the rolls.
