These tender, slightly crispy bites are a great way to use up leftover sweet potatoes. They're also a healthy and satisfying snack or breakfast option. The almond butter and maple syrup add a touch of sweetness, while the cinnamon and nutmeg give them a warm and cozy flavor.
The idea for these sweet potato bites came to me one day when I was trying to figure out what to do with some leftover sweet potatoes. I had already made mashed potatoes, roasted potatoes, and sweet potato fries, so I was looking for something a little different. I started experimenting with different ingredients and flavors, and eventually came up with these bites. They're so easy to make, and they're always a hit with my family and friends.

Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato, almond butter, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pecans. Stir until well combined.
