First you must decide…to peel or not to peel?!
I always used to be a peeler, but I’ve found I actually prefer not to peel my sweet potatoes anymore. In addition to adding a little extra ‘crisp’ when you’re roasting or making fries, the skin also provides additional nutrients and fiber!
I love to make up a batch when I’m meal prepping for the the week. 2 large sweet potatoes will provide about 4 servings. And I can use them up in a variety of ways. Here is how I reheated them today. I added them to my breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs, avocado and a little hot sauce. YUM!
You could have a burrito bowl for lunch with shredded chicken, black beans, veggies, salsa, etc…the possibilities are endless!
Makes 4 servings.
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 3/4 teaspoon garlic powder or granules (or to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Wash and scrub potatoes thoroughly. Dry well.
- Cut sweet potatoes in half length-wise, and then cut each half into 4 long strips. Chop each of the strips into small cubes.
- In bowl, toss the cubes with oil and seasonings.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper – I think it helps with crispiness.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 25-30 minutes or until desired crisp, flipping once halfway through to make sure that all sides get crispy.
