This may be more effort than you want to expend, but this is my current favorite - roasted sweet potato spears dipped in homemade chipotle mayo. The mayo is super easy to make and is much healthier than what you can buy at the store, and the fat fills you up along with the fantastic fiber of the sweet potatoes. Make a batch at the beginning of the week and you have a snack to carry your through every day!

Sweet Potato Spears -
Slice up 2 sweet potato into wedges, making at least 16 wedges total, and toss with olive oil to coat, salt, pepper, and cumin. Lay out on a cookie sheet with potatoes not touching, and bake for 40 minutes in a 400 degree oven.

Chipotle Mayo -
In a blender, crack one egg and add 3 T lemon juice, and leave alone for 30 minutes to bring it to room temp. Then add one or two chipotle peppers (from a can in adobo sauce), 1/4 C olive oil, and a tsp salt. Blend the crap out of it for a few seconds till its all mixed. Then, taking out the circular insert of the blender lid only, turn the blender on medium and sloooooooowly dribble in a cup of very mild olive oil. It should take 2 or 3 minutes to do it. Voila!! Done and done!

Enjoy!
