    I have never understood why people put sugar and marshmallows on sweet potatoes. They´re already sweet. Adding more sweet stuff on them sounds disgusting.

    I usually cut them like fries, and bake them in the oven with a tiny bit of oil, and lots of spices, like pepper, salt, chili, garlic and so on.

    I just had one for dinner. I usually just bake and sprinkle with cinnamon, but I added butter today, b/c I could.

    I slice mine pretty thin and bake them in the oven for 20 minutes, 10 minutes on each side, then top it with nacho toppings! Peppers, tomatoes, olives, cheese. Serve it with salsa and plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It's a great substitute for tortilla chips, but they don't get that crispy texture.

    I cut them up into fries and bake them in the oven, and then drizzle them with a sauce made out of light mayo, brown mustard, kethcup, and horseradish. Or I cube them and bake them with raisins, apple, and cinnamon.

    Keeping it nice and simple - I like this! It's like having wedges, but sweeter. I'm definitely going to try this. Is one whole sweet potato usually a servings worth? :p

    If I'm microwaving or baking them, I'll usually throw some Greek yogurt or almond butter on top with salt and cinnamon or all of that stuff together! If I'm baking them into fries, I'll do a garlic and paprika coating and make a cilantro lime crema as a dipping sauce that I make with Greek yogurt, lime, cilantro, and a little salt&garlic powder.

    I peel the skin off of mines after baking it for an hour. I then mashed it up and put one tablespoon of creamy jif peanut butter on it. I also love sprinkling cinnamon on it as well. I then put it in the microwave to let the peanut butter melt. It is soo good.It is also good with almond butter. There are all kinds of peanut butter out there though. I'm thinking about trying some protein peanut butter soon from online.
