Different Twist On Baked Yams for Healthy Cooking

I actually think roasted sweet potato recipes are my favorite preparation and it is healthy cooking! Sometimes, the recipes can be too sweet but I actually have a healthy recipe with a praline topping!!  A must make recipe for sure.  When you are oven roasted any vegetable, make sure to line the pan with foil so you have an easy clean up.  I also have a southwestern version of roasted vegetables tossed with low-sodium taco seasoning.  Yams are packed with nutrition besides SO DELICIOUS.  Enjoy this simple recipe year round and don’t save only for the holidays.

A Good Peeler Really Does Make A Difference To Peel The Sweet Potatoes

I always depend on any OXO gadgets because they work well and are so reasonably priced.  A good peeler will make peeling the potatoes so much easier.  You might have your favorite brand but just make sure it is a new peeler that really does the job.

The hardest part about these Butter Pecan Roasted Sweet Potatoes is peeling the potatoes. The rest is simple!

Sweet Potatoes Are So Good and So Good For You

Sweet potatoes are packed with antioxidants and so good for you!  If you like this recipes, you’ll love my Sweet Potato Casserole with Praline Topping from KITCHEN 101 cookbook also.  Then, my Yam Cornbread Dressing, combines sweet potatoes and cornbread into one delectable dressing.  Doesn’t get better than that!
