    Roasted (baked) sweet potatoes with a pat of butter and a teaspoon of brown sugar; not too high-cal AND healthy and delicious.

    If you have to ask if a food is evil then a change in perspective is in order

    If you really want to slow down the glycemic response of the sweet potato it should be eaten raw.

    in what world could a sweet potato be evil?

    sweet potatoes are crazy good for you, just be sensible about how you prepare them. personally i make homemade sweet potato fries in bacon fat and covered with spices/cinnamon.

    delish.

    Even if the glycemic index wasn't a terribly outdated, flawed concept (which it is since nobody fasts for 12 hours then eats only a carbohydrate), why would the sweet potato be a problem?

    I eat sweet potatoes in almost everything that you would eat a regular potato, including mashed with garlic and salt. Yum!

    Delicious cubed and roasted, or just baked. I prefer mine with a healthy portion of (Kerrygold) butter.


    (And the first person to post in all caps on this thread loses...

    ...at life.

    So don't do it.

    I mean it. I'm watching you.)
