BM #100 Week 4 Day 2 -
This week I am redoing some old posts with new pictures.
Sweet potato never was a staple vegetable at our place until recently. We were introduced to this interesting and nutritious snack by a friend.
The fact that this root vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), a very good source of vitamin C and manganese, and a good source of copper, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium and iron is enough to say that it needs to be included regularly in our diet.
Ingredients -
Sweet potato 2 medium
Olive Oil 1 tsp
Salt, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Pepper, Paprika as needed
Method of preparation -
Peel and chop into bite size pieces and toss them along with oil and the spices using. Arrange them in a greased cookie sheet.
Preheat the oven to 400F and arrange the sweet potato pieces in a single layer and bake for 27 min.
Take them out and serve as a side dish to Sambar or Rasam or Dal of your choice.

Very healthy, indeed!
You can add mashed sweet potatoes with atta and spices to make soft delicious chapatis. They come out good. Love the baked version here, it makes a tasty and healthy side dish to rice.
Baked version sounds excellent Harini, never tried it myself. We love sweet potato boiled, will surely try this sometime!
Baked version sound too good. A must try dish.
very healthy dish with sweet potato. We always boil and eat or use in sambar. Bookmarked to try soon.
I make this regularly whenever I get sweet potatoes here. Baking them with minimum oil makes it a nice guilt free treat.
