Sweet Potatoes are on almost every super food list. They are an excellent source of vitamin A, and a very good source of vitamin C and manganese, and a good source of copper, potassium, and dietary fiber. Additionally, they are full of antioxidant nutrients, anti inflammation properties, and blood sugar regulating benefits. And did I mention, delicious?

Chris and I both love sweet potatoes. I recently did a post on mashed sweet potatoes and can’t get enough of them. It’s hard to believe that they are so good for you too. The nutritional benefits are numerous, but the highlights are that they are a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, fiber and antioxidants.

For me, roasted sweet potato fries are just as good as deep fried. I like mine a little on the burnt side, and they do burn easily, so it can be a close call occasionally. I’ve made these in all different shapes – fries, planks, wedges, circles – doesn’t matter as long as you cut them in about the same thickness. If you don’t mind the skin, I recommend leaving it on to boost the fiber and nutritional value.
