Sweet potato tubers are flavorful, creamy, and high in fiber, vitamin C and other vitamins, and contain antioxidants. Plain sweet potatoes are naturally sweet without adding sweeteners, yet fairly low in calories (but not in this recipe!) This is a highly nutritious vegetable that should be eaten more often all year long, and not reserved just for holiday dishes.
