I know sweet potatoes work well for some diabetics (including me). But
the traditional version of mashed with maple syrup and marshmallows
wasn't the best way to fix them.

Here's a simple preparation that's quick, easy to fix and delicious.

Roasted Sweet 'Taters

Simple to make and everyone seems to enjoy this dish. This recipe also
works well with yams or Idaho baking potatoes.

Recipe By: Pete & Peggy Romfh
Serving Size: 6
Cuisine: American
Main Ingredient: Sweet potato
Categories: Diabetic, Vegetarian, Roast, Simple - Easy, Vegetables,
Side Dish

-= Ingredients =-
16 oz Sweet potatoes ; - Washed
1 ts Olive oil
1/2 ts Salt ; - coarse kosher is best.
1/4 ts Ground nutmeg
1/8 ts Ground cloves
1/8 ts Pepper ; - coarse ground

-= Instructions =-
Preheat oven to 425°F.

Cut sweet potatoes into about 3/4 inch cubes (large dice). Leave the
skins on removing only the hard knob at each end. Alternatively you
might cut them in wedges or slice them in 1/2 inch disks.

Combine sweet potatoes and remaining ingredients in a bowl (or
plastic bag); toss gently to coat. Place potatoes on a baking sheet
(do not overlap); bake at 425°F for 25 minutes or until very tender.
If you're using your oven for something else (at a lower temperature)
that's fine, just adjust the cooking time up a bit.

Yum : ) Worth trying with a sprinkling of Chinese 5-spice, too.
