Sweet potatoes - how do you like them?

[ironwings]

This has been an acquired taste for me and I recently started eating them. I just couldn't get over the thought of my great grandmothers sweet potato casserole.

My favorite is to slice them like fries, toss them in some EVOO and bake them. How do you fix yours?

sliced 1/2 '' thick baked with cinimon and a little bit of fake butter spray. sweet potatoes aren't a good choice for me though so i dont eat them to often.

I like to drizzle in EVOO and hit it with some coarse Kosher salt and ground pepper before grilling them! Oh yum!

Also, I bake a bunch of them at a time and after cooling the skins come off easy. Then I (get ready for this, don't judge til you try) smoosh it up with a fork and sprinkle about half a serving of my favorite whey protein powder on it. It's the new ice cream, lol! well, not really but it IS good.

Oh my, protein powder? Unflavored? I'll let you know if I brave that one

Vanilla flavored. I also put cinnamon on it or you could use some of those fake butter sprinkles.

Don't you ever add protein powder to your oatmeal? LOL! Slightly cool it first. It's really good too!

You can try mashing them with a bit of salt, butter spray, cinnamon and a pinch of brown sugar. Baked fries, or Cut into rounds on the grill are all delicious

also if you like other root vegetables, carrots, cut yukon gold potatoes, celery root, parsnips, and sweet potatoes all coated with EVOO and a sprinkle of sea salt, bake until fork tender.
