Salt and fresh ground pepper to taste
Now I added two capfuls of skim extra milk so maybe 1/2 oz or 1 oz and I added 2 tbsp of brown sugar so with those it added 35 calories to the entire bowl....let me tell you these are so good my husband couldn't get enough!

I love raw sweet potato anything...except canned ones! The canned ones are all my mama made for us, so I never knew the difference.
I will try that recipe!!!!
Another one I love to make as a side dish to chicken or pork: thin slice raw sweet potatoes and apples and layer together in a oven dish that has a tight fitting lid. Add a few tablesoons water, teeniest bit of butter, and light sprinkle of brown sugar/cinnamon. Bake for an hour or so depending on size of the dish.
YUM...you can add all kinds of things to his as desired: toasted walnuts on top, orange rind, etc. You could sub the oj for the water and make a variation of yours!
I also love SP thin sliced. boiled a few minutes til not quite tender, then grill (sometimes they need a bit of olive oil or butter)
