Friends are always asking me for easy, healthy breakfast ideas – and this is one of the easiest. You can even bake 5 sweet potatoes at the start of the week, and enjoy these cold out of the fridge in less than a minute prep time (experiment with the magic sauce to keep it interesting!).
In addition to being super-delicious, sweet potatoes are quite filling due to their high fiber content. Sweet potatoes are a fantastic source of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium, B vitamins and vitamin C. They’re also very high in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that converts to vitamin A in the body (1 cup provides 375% your daily value)!

I love my sweet potatoes! My new favorite way to prepare them is to put a large one in the slow cooker for a few hours. Somehow the flavor is better than oven baked. Plus I am saving on energy use and not heating up my kitchen.
