Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, mix 1 medium peeled and finely grated sweet potato with 2 tbsp all-purpose flour and 1 tbsp olive oil until combined; form into 12 small 1-inch balls.
  2. Step 2: Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, flatten slightly into 1-inch discs, and press a small indentation in the center to create dino footprints.
  3. Step 3: Bake at 400°F for 20-22 minutes until golden around the edges and crisp on the bottom, flipping once halfway through for even cooking.
  4. Step 4: While baking, mash 1 large pitted avocado with 1 tbsp lime juice, 2 tbsp chopped cilantro, and 1/4 tsp salt to make a smooth dip; serve warm bites with the dip on the side.
