Roasted sweet potatoes

amadnurse

Is really yummy and good for you. Its calorie content mainly comes from starch, a complex carbohydrate. Sweet potato has higher amylose to the amylopectin ratio than that in potato. Amylose raises the blood sugar levels rather slowly on comparison to simple fruit sugars (fructose, glucose etc) and therefore, recommended as a healthy food item even in diabetes.

I like sweet potato mashed with wholegrain mustard and a bit of butter

I eat low carb, but I save some room everyday for some sweet potatoes!

I microwave them, cut them in half, and eat the entire thing, plain, with my hands. Less dishes to wash ftw.

Yes when I was younger now at Asian markets they only sell the typical ones

I love them and eat them just roasted with a little olive oil and salt (as a side). I never eat a whole one, though, and eat potatoes (purple, red, white, whatever) just as much. I think having a variety of whole foods is good.

Yum!!! We eat them prepared in a variety of manners: most recently cooked in the microwave and drizzled with homemade chimichurri sauce. So very good.
