– 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
– 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut flakes
– 1 tbsp maple syrup (or preferred sweetener)
– 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
– 1/4 tsp ground ginger

Instructions:
Step 1: In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients except the shredded coconut. Mix well until everything is fully incorporated and there are no lumps.
Step 2: Transfer the mixture to a parchment paper-lined sheet pan. Use a spatula to press down firmly and evenly spread out the mixture into a thin layer.
Step 3: Place the sheet pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour or until set. You can also speed up the process by placing the sheet pan in the freezer for about 15 minutes.
Step 4: After chilling, remove the pan from the fridge or freezer and sprinkle the shredded coconut over the top. Use your fingers or a fork to gently press down on the coconut flakes, allowing them to adhere to the mixture.
Step 5: Break the mixture apart into small pieces using your hands. Enjoy your delicious vegan Sweet Potato Brown Rice Crispy Treats right away or store them in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to a week.
Note: For a more intense spiciness, you can increase the amount of red pepper flakes used.
