Sweet Potatoes

Hi traceysteven. Thanks for your input. Whats 'one calorie fry-light'? Sounds good. However surely the 'one calorie' depends on how much you use. Sorry... a bad attempt at a joke.

Hi it is normally with the cooking oils in the supermarket it says one cal on the can and each spray you do is worth one calorie
I have it in butter, rapseed,garlic and barbecue flavours and use it a lot

Yes you are right it does depend on how much you use
I recommended it to my friend and she said there wasn't much in a few sprays so she opened it up and poured it out
 
Hi I often buy them. I cut them as thick chips or discs lightly brush them with oil and sprinkle salt, black pepper,herb of your choice and peprica and stick in the oven 15-20mins or until cooked as oven chips and they delicious and are low in sugar . Hope this is useful. Cheers Jas
 
Thanks Jas.

Yes!!!! Sorry..... I completely forgot to add. Sweet potatoes seem to have very little effect on my glucose levels. D'oh!
 
BTW...... Welcome to the forum Jas! I hope you find it as awesome as I do. Very good friendly people here with lots of knowledge!
 
I've got to try that curry recipe! btw, you can also slice sweet potatoes thin (especially nice with the orange ones sometimes mistakenly called "yams") and eat them raw. Something like crunchy carrots.
 
Thanks MaxineKL & christineMG. Sounds yummy!

Hi 1701davew. Welcome to the forum. Yes I'm interested in the toaster method too.

I'm assuming that you just buy a big fat round sweet potato, slice it around where it's diameter is largest and to the desired thickness and toast. I suppose you could use the remaining bits which are too small for the toaster and fry them to have with something else. I found some pretty big ones in the local supermarket.. about 6 or 7 inch in diameter.
 
They fairly sweet tasting and can be used in sweet and savoury dishes..low carb..i use as jackets..roasted..beautiful with squash made into soup..find cake recipes using potatoes and replace with sweet ones..yummy
 

I like 'em roasted in with other veg, but sadly the GL is rather high: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2668/2

Yes, when my wife first suggested that we try them, I was'nt happy and pushed them away. one day in a fast food place the people next to us had sweet potato chips. Great! Don't knock it till you've tried them!
