Ingredients
Sweet Potatos
Optional: olive oil, orange juice.

I recently read how important sweet potatoes are for your health. They contain carotenoids, vitamin e, potassium, fiber, and copper. They are easy to make and definitely worthwhile to eat.


Preperation Instructions
Buy firm, medium-size sweet potatoes without any cracks, bruises, or soft spots. Once you’ve bought them, remove the potatoes from the bag and store in a cool, dark, dry place for up to 10 days. Don’t refrigerate until after cooking.

Instructions
There are a few different options you can use to make them depending on how you might like it:
-Bake them: toss unpeeled sweet potatoes into the oven at 400 degrees and let cook for 30 min.
-Make home fries: coat peeled raw sweet-potato wedges with olive oil and roast on a baking sheet for 20 min. at 400 degrees.
-Mash them: steam peeled sweet-potato chunks for about 10 min. and mash with a bit of O.J.
-Use them as a topping: slice cold, cooked, peeled potatoes for snacks and side dishes.

And most important all they supply is even better than your regular potato's and the best yet they are low on the Gycemic index which means they are a better source of complex Carbohydrates than regular starchy potato's.

Some stores sell wrapped sweet potatoes that take 6-7 minuts to microwave. Quick, easy, tastey and nutritious! If you've never tried one before, you don't know what you're missing.
