Simple Sweet Potato

Sweet and Simple Sweet Potato

The sweet potato is a staple in any healthy lifestyle. However, we all can get a little board with just slicing and baking.  Here are two ways to spice it up!

Creamy Sweet Potato

Directions: take three sweet potatoes wash them and slice them, bake in the oven covered for 30 min on 375 degrees, then uncover and cook for another 15 minutes.  In a bowl combine 1 tbsp cinnamon, 4 tbsp organic almond butter (melt in microwave), to that add 4 tbsp of non-fat Greek yogurt. Spread that all over the sweet potato and ENJOY!

Coated Sweet Potato

Directions: chop 2 sweet potatoes into cubes. Place in a zip lock bag.  To the zip lock bag add 4 tbsp of EVOO and smear all over.  To this bag add 1 tsp cinnamon, 1 tsp pumpkin spice, 1 tsp nutmeg, 2 tbsp brown sugar. Shake, Shake, Shake the bag. In a foil lined pan, add 1/2 cup of water then sit the sweet potato on top.  Cook on 375 for 45 minutes and ENJOY!
