Microwave a sweet potato, leaving slightly firm, cut into centimeter-thick round slices, spread a little cajeta on top and eat like a cookie. Alt: slightly melt semi-sweet chocolate chips on top. Alt: salt, chili & lime on top.0

That Sweet Potato Pudding sounds amazing! Yum yum yum!0 -
Sweet Potato Pudding:
1 medium sweet potato
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
Cinnamon
Cayenne Lots of protein and great filling snack!
This sounds great! Plain yogurt or have you tried it w/flavored?
It is a great idea. I do plain to watch sugar intake. Not a bad idea.0 -
bake or boil til soft (with skin or not)
separately: use tiny bit of butter to fry chopped green onions
reintroduce yam/s
mash with fork
top with a lean cured ham of your choice, and greek yogurt0 -

Well I haven't actually tried these yet so I can't say if they are good yet but I was looking through a list of low calorie lunches that I saved a while back today and I saw these two sweet potato recipes that look good to try so are going on my list for my next shopping trip:
Stuffed Sweet Potato: 365 calories
Why it rules: Greek yogurt is a great swap for sour cream on this potato.
1 cooked sweet potato, sliced: 100 calories
3 slices cooked turkey bacon, crumbled: 130 calories
1/4 cup Greek yogurt: 30 calories
1/2 scallion, chopped: 5 calories
Side Snack: 5 Kashi 7-grain crackers with 1 stick reduced-fat string cheese (100 calories)
Sweet Potato And ****ake Mushroom Salad: 370 calories
Why it rules: Sweet potatoes are filled with fiber and vitamins!
1 cup spinach: 5 calories
1 cooked sweet potato, sliced: 100 calories

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard: 5 calories
1 squeeze lemon juice: < 1 calorie
Side Snack: 1 cup halved strawberries and ½ a banana, sliced (100 calories)0 -
Sliced very thin - I use a vegetable peeler and just shave slices off - place in a single layer on a paper plate or microwavable dish and microwave until brown and crispy. spinkle with seasonings. I like just a bit of kosher salt, but cinnamon/sugar or spicy spices work well too. Pampered chef makes an awesome set of silicone mats that go in the microwave, just for making chips like this. I'll make less than half a potato to go with a sandwich or a bowl of soup. I've even been known to make a batch to nibble for a sports event. Better than my favorite kettle chips!0

Found a link to a microwave potato chip maker on Amazon, if anyone would like to see what I'm talking about:

Just made this last night and it was delish!
I microwave-steamed half a yam for 4 minutes(little too soft, 3 next time!), then sliced into the flesh like you would when you cube avocados, opened it up and sprayed Pam over top and sprinkled some salt and pepper. Then I put it under the broiler for about 5 minutes before sprinkling on some grated parmesan and broiling another few minutes until it's nice a toasty looking!
Sooo good!0 -
My favorite:
Cut up sweet potatoes and butternut squash in smallish pieces.
In a bowl, combine olive oil, salt ( I use Herbamare sea salt with organic herbs and veggies) & pepper, garlic powder, cumin, ginger, coriander, and thyme+sage or herbes de Provence.
Add the sweet potato and squash pieces and coat them with the mixture by tossing well, then place them in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Preheat oven to 375, then bake for about 40 mn or until tender.
YUM!0 -
Slight twist on a Jamie Oliver recipe (seen on his 30 minute meals)
Pierce a few sweet potatoes and put them in a microwavable bowl. Cut a lemon in half and add to the bowl also (both halves). Cover the bowl in clingfilm, pierce a few times and microwave until ready (use own judgement - depends on how many sweet potatoes are used).
After they are ready, place them on a chopping board and mash them up with the skins on. Drizzle with a little olive oil, add some chopped coriander (cilantro?) and seasoning and then crumble some feta cheese over them. Mix together and voila! Lovely as a side dish or on it's own.
Jamie used normal baking potatoes as well in this recipe but I make it healthier by just using the sweet potatoes. Otherwise it's the same recipe!0
