 I am on a mission to cook, edit, and consume low calorie recipes at least two to three times a week. 


Baked Sweet Potato
 

 


Ingredients

4 Medium Sized Sweet Potatoes
1 Tablespoon Butter
1 Tablespoon brown sugar
1 Teaspoon olive oil

Preparation
  1. Rise, scrub, and clean sweet potatoes
  2. Dry Potatoes and rub each one with olive oil
  3. Puncture potatoes with fork a few times
  4. Place potato in microwave one a time and cook them for 4-5 minutes until done
  5. In small bowl place butter and brown sugar
  6. Stir together until butter is soft and brown sugar is completely mixed in
  7. Once all potatoes are done place equal parts of butter mixture in each potato

I am a fan of all potatoes, but they do not look that great on my figure. Most people know sweet potatoes are good for you. Sweet Potatoes are high in vitamin B6, Vitamin C, Vitamin D, and Iron. They are also a great source of magnesium, which is a relaxation and anti-stress mineral.
    Not only are sweet potatoes nutritionally good for you, they also taste great, and are simple to make. I truly enjoyed this recipe, and I hope you do to.

    This is a simple low fat way to prepare potatoes. My boyfriend and I truly enjoyed them. I hope you do too.
