    Baking sweet potatoes increases the GI.

    Boiling is the way to go.

    Baked, or even microwaved, plain. A little cinnamon is good on them too, or salt and pepper.

    Nuke them for 5 minutes, then put 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 5 pumps of 0 calorie butter spray, and a tablespoon of raw honey on top.

    my husband just chopped them into quarters, added a little salt, pepper and garlic and baked them...I didn't think I'd like them b/c so far I've only "liked" sweet potato fries...but I LOVED them. They were super yummy! :smile:

    This is a recipe from an old issue of Southern Living that I love:

    Peel and cut two-three sweet potatoes into chunks
    Cut one small onion into chunks
    Toss potatoes and onions with EVOO and fajita seasoning
    Roast at 400 for 30-45 minutes

    I Love them peeled ,cut into chunks , then sprayed with a olive oil spray, salt and pepper, then I put them on my hot cast iron skillet and roast until browned at 400* I will eat leftovers cold in my salad. After having them this way I will not eat them any other way.

    They are also great mashed.

    Wash them and wrap in foil and put in the oven. The ones left just put in a bowl or freezer bag and stick them in the freezer. Makes a great and quick side to any meal or sandwich. I sprinkle mine with cinnamon sugar.

    I like mine simple just bake them! Preheat oven to 400 degrees, wash potatoes, poke them all over with a fork, put right in the oven on the rack, take out about 45 minutes later (or until soft), and you have a delish dinner/side dish!

    Same!

    I boil them or boil then mash. Not very exciting but then I mix them with chicken and either spinach or broccoli to really make them gourmet :laugh:
