macros on yams and or sweet potatoes...?

[DZLS]

i'm gonna start adding these into my diet...

also if i prebake these things, will they be ok to toss in the microwave later...?

or will they taste like shit...?

 

[jmt24]

they taste fine micro'd afterwards. i do it all the time. its good if you bake like 5 of them, add some splenda brown sugar, crushed raw walnuts, and blend in a lil 2% milk.

I think you can get away with JUST microwaving them... as long as you poke some holes in it with a fork, they come out pretty good.

 

[jmt24]

yes, make sure you poke holes in them or they will explode. on my microwave with a medium size yam, it takes about 7 min to cook.

It will probably be a little over cooked and may shrivel a little but unless the 'tato is bad to begin with, it should taste ok.
