How do you eat sweet potatoes?

ElikaCousland

Either roasted or baked, topped with black beans, salsa, cottage cheese, some diced chicken if I have it, and avocado. Full of nutrition and super tasty.

I've added them into a black bean and veggie chili before or wrap them in foil and bake. Then I either top them with black beans, tomatoes, corn, and cumin/chile powder or a sprinkle of cinnamon if I want "sweet".

YumEither with lime juice and cinnamon or sliced and baked as fries (a little olive oil and seasonings/herbs)

Oven baked and then cut it open to put crunchy peanut butter! when peanut butter starts melting tastes so good

OMG that sounds sooo delish

to turn a sweet potato into lunch, serve it alongside some meat like chicken, fish, pork, etc

AnnieBear80

I cook mine in the microwave and then top with low fat greek yoghurt and a little cheese, salt and pepper. I also eat them in soups, mashed or cut them up and spray with oil, to make oven chips (fries).

As a side, baked, salted and sometimes butter, dollop of greek yogurt and a tbsp of parmesan. Chives and bacon if I'm feeling frisky. You can do a twice baked version with the same ingredients.

As a meal, I stuff them with pulled pork, chicken or beef and top pretty much the same as above.

I bake mine and then put cinnamon on them. Yummy

Try baked/microwaved with pineapple salsa on top! Amazing! I eat the skin where some of the nutrients also live

I partially cook by boiling them with the skins on. Next I remove the skins and cut them into slices like scalloped potatoes. I layer those slices in a lasagna pan with brown sugar, sea salt, and curry. Top em with a crumble made from crushed pecans and brown sugar. Bake at 375 for about 40minutes.

I also like sweet potato fries: slice em into thin (leave skins on), soak them in salt water brine, dry, then oven roast at 425 until done. Alternatively, you can deep fry them

I typically have mine for breakfast!! Sweet potato hash! Sooo yummy and a nice change from plain old bacon (or sausage) and eggs.

I love loaded sweet potatoes. I often will top a sweet potato with black beans, roasted corn, shredded cheese, diced tomatoes and light sour cream for a filling lunch.

I just had a sweet potato for dinner - cooked it in the microwave and topped it with my homemade guacamole - just 241 calories for a 5 oz potato and 1/2 cup guac

Made my tummy happy :bigsmile:

WilmaDennis91

Either bake them or microwave them till they're soft and scoop them out with a spoon. Some people likes it with butter, but I eat it plain cuz they're sweet enough for me.

connietalla

try quartering regular potatoe and spray with vegetable spray and season with barbeque spice and bake at 350 til done depending if u like them crunchy or not its like a real treat

raventwo

I split them in half, bake, then eat with a wee bit of butter and cinnamon

loriepaulin

I do the exact same thing and you don't need the already wrapped microwave ones either...buy regular, poke a fork in it for vent, and pop it in the microwave. I then scoop out the inside. That's how I eat mine along with some light butter and cinnamon sugar

My dad's recipe:

Make some mashed sweet potatos, mix in some Kraft Philedelphia Whipped Cream Cheese in onion or chives flavour.

It's pretty damn good.

Love 'em roasted, too! Just a tad of salt, pepper and a little cooking spray. Bake until tender. If you put on baking sheet, the outsides will crisp up. And they are very good FOR YOU to boot!

Oven baked I'm having it with some chicken, mushrooms and peppers chopped up and a bit of sauce with it
