Help Swede/Turnip

[lessci]

But how can it raise the amount of carbs? Let's say you roast 100 grams of swede and boil the same amount and then compare them, would there be more sugar in the roasted ones and if so, where did it come from?

Just a guess, but could it be down to the resistant starch thing? Having experimented with various forms of potatoes, mash and jackets are out, roasties and chip better (guessing the fat content helps there) the best (for me) are tinned especially if I slice & fry them

Iam not sure about that. I have been told that roasting sweet potatoe increases the sugar, while steaming them reduces it ! So maybe its a simular mechanim. But do not quote me on it.

Sweet potato is high carb, so you are starting off at a disadvantage from the start - and steam removing sugar? Somehow I doubt it - are there steam fairies?
