4. Sweet Potato Fries/Chips

Sweet potato chips/fries make a great side dish. I like to top them with cinnamon, nutmeg, and Splenda for a sweet version, or Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper for savory.

Here is the basic recipe — season as you please.
Ingredients

  • 16 oz Sweet Potatoes
  • Choice of seasonings

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 425.
  2. Cut up sweet potatoes (fries, wedges, whatever you prefer).
  3. Season and spray pan and sweet potatoes with Olive Oil Pam.
  4. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.

5. Sweet Potato Stir Fry

After doing some research and experimentation with purple sweet potatoes, I found they are not quite as sweet as orange sweet potatoes, but are great for more savory dishes, like stir fry.

Their purple skin also makes them a great source of antioxidants and adds some fun and color to your food.
Ingredients

  • 4 oz Pork Chop
  • 4 oz Japanese sweet potato, sliced lengthwise ¾-inch thick
  • 1 cup cut Cabbage (I like purple, for the color)
  • 1/2 cup Cauliflower (again, purple)
  • 1/2 cup Broccoli
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste

Directions

  1. Place sweet potatoes in oven at 425 for 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook pork chop on medium heat until done.
  3. Add cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower to skillet and cook until cabbage is wilted. Mix with pork, sweet potato and eggplant and season with salt and pepper.

6. Sweet Potato Bread

This bread recipe is good for both the body and the soul. Enjoy!
Ingredients

  • 8 oz mashed Sweet Potato, without skin
  • 2 scoops Vanilla Whey
  • 1 cup Oat Bran
  • 2 Egg Whites
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 1/4 cup chopped Walnuts (optional)
  • 1/2 cup Splenda
  • 1 tsp Nutmeg
  • 1 tsp Vanilla
  • 1 Tbsp Cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray 9x5x3-inch loaf pan with olive oil Pam.
