Sweet potatoes

no clue but we are in the same boat!! im from alabama and i was looking for recipes yesterday so bump for later

I made those last night and they were SO good! I think they work out to about 250 calories per serving.

I would roast it and eat it as is. I don't add butter to any kind of potatoes or corn on the cob. Quality food tastes good on its own.

Would it taste better with butter? Probably, but at what cost in the long run? Especially when it's really good without anything added.

I do the same as most others here...cut in cubes, season with cinnamon and roast...make sweet mashed potatoes...sweet potato fries....baked sweet potatoes. They are so good without adding much seasoning and they are one of the most nutritious vegetables available.

"Bump" just pushes this topic back to the top of the forum list, that's all.

My favorite sweet potatoes use is to make baked fries:

Peel the potatoes and cut into fry strips - this takes some time, as SP's are HARD (Hmm, I wonder if we can log cutting SP's as cardio? Hah!)
Toss with a little olive oil, and sprinkle with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. (no measurements, just eyeball it.)
Spread onto a greased cookie sheet (or use parchment paper) and bake at 400 for about 20 minutes, turning halfway through the cooking time.

Allow to cool about 5 minutes before eating.

If your results turn out like mine, you'll have "fries" of varying shapes and sizes, so some will have burnt ends and other will be mushy, but regardless of appearance, the flavor is fantastic.

This. Also I add chili powder and cumin.

But often I just eat them plain, baked in the skin. They are sweet enough on their own.

This is my favorite way to eat sweet potatoes as well. I usually just spray cookie sheet with Pam, put the "fries" on the sheet, spray them with some Pam and sprinkle with salt and pepper. They are so tasty!

I also like mashed sweet potatoes - I prepare them just like mashed potatoes - with a little milk and bummle and brown yogurt/butter spread - and add cinnamon to them after.

I roast them... a little EVOO, salt and pepper and cumin..... YUM! HIGH heat - 450 or so..... convection, if you have it... flip half way through..... watch closely... a little burn and caramelization makes them YUMMY!

You can cube them and mix them *once cooked* with kidney or black beans, avocado, lettuce, onion and whatever else you like as a nutritious lunch.

Or, for dinner, I cut them in wedges and I use them as a base for what I call sweet potato nachos....
layer dish with roasted sweet potatoes and then top with onions, orange peppers, garlic, black beans and some cheese... then cook for 15 min at 375 and plate a portion. Top plate with avocado, a few crumbled tortilla chips (not too many), lettuce, lime juice and salsa... YUMMY! :)

I don't like them with sugar and cinnamon, but lots of folks LOVE them sweetened... I prefer savory...

Yep, I also just do an easy bake - cut in half, drizzle lightly with olive oil, a dash of kosher salt and a few twists of pepper and bake skin side up. YUM.

I am hooked on sweet potatoes! I scrub the SP and cut off any bad parts (I like to eat the skin). Then, I wrap it in paper towels. Next, I soak the papertowels wrapped around the SP. Microwave for 5-10 minutes, depending on how big the SP is.

After it's done, I cut in half length-wise. Add a little organic virgin coconut oil, himalayan salt, and cinnamon. DELISH!!!!!!

I eat this several times a week. I love it!

I like to do the fries spray a little coconut oil on them and Tony C's season salt mmmm and mashed with cocnut butter and sea salt and sometimes I slice them like ships and bake them with sea salt. Or just a plain ole baked one is yummy and if I have the calories to spare, real butter.
