Sweet potatoes are one of the healthiest super foods. They’re super filling, super low calorie, super nutritious and super delicious!
I absolutely love these sweet potatoes. I could eat them every single day.
These potatoes are great for family dinners. My dad and stepmom loved them.
I usually boil sweet potatoes, but baking them tastes so much better, It takes a bit longer, but it’s definitely worth it the wait.
Black beans and peas make these potatoes super filling. If you’re looking to cut down on calories, you’re gonna love how filling these are!
One of the best things about these potatoes is the sauce. I made the most delicious avocado sauce that took just a few minutes to make.
The sauce is made with 1 avocado, 1/3 cup Greek yogurt, the juice of 1 lime and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
These sweet potatoes are:
Comforting
Perfectly cheesy
Very filling
Super healthy
If you’re looking to make a special dinner for family, friends or yourself, these sweet potatoes are perfect.
