Baked Sweet Potato

A baked sweet potato is one of the healthiest snacks you can enjoy during the day and they taste amazing! The health benefits of sweet potatoes include:

  • Almost twice the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A
  • 42 percent of the recommendation for vitamin C
  • Four times the RDA for beta carotene
  • Sweet potatoes have more fiber than oatmeal (w/ skin)
  • All these health benefits with very few calories!

Instructions:

  • Use 3-4 sweet potatoes.
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Wash sweet potatoes under cool running water.
  • Pierce deeply with knife or fork to allow steam to escape while cooking.
  • Place sweet potatoes in a glass dish (line with foil for easy clean up).
  • Instead of a glass dish, you can also wrap each potato in aluminum foil.
  • Bake for about 45 minutes or until tender.
