Stuffed baked sweet potatoes are my current thing. Bake a washed sweet potato in the oven (they can also be microwaved, but they aren't as good), cut in half, and smush up the insides. You can then mix in pretty much whatever you want. The picture below includes broccoli and cheese.
This one has spinach and melted peanut butter mixed in. I know it sounds gross but I promise it will actually blow your mind...think of peanut sauce on Chinese food.
Baked "fries" are a hit with everyone in my household. Simply cut up any variety of potatoes (these are Russet), toss on a baking sheet that's been sprayed with olive oil, season to your liking (I typically do garlic salt), then bake at 400* for about 45 minutes. This works great with sweet potatoes too!
These artichoke hearts were a delicious Aldi find.
Dried green beans aren't something I ever thought I'd try since I prefer fresh produce, but they have a great crunch to them.
More veggie chips...I am not actually sure if these are even healthy (they probably aren't).
But, why???? For the record, I am not a fan of M&M's, but this only had a few on top; the ah-mazing thing was the peanut butter rice crispie treat with chocolate peanut butter drizzle and peanuts.
Okay, back to my healthy options. I love all types of squash. This is roasted yellow squash. Roasting any vegetable is winning!
You are so adventurous with sweet potatoes and they look delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are delicious! I have another friend who is into doing this with sweet potatoes too, and she's recommended doing one with chicken and a vegetable of choice, or a Mexican-inspired combo (black beans, grilled peppers and onions, avocado, cheese). I've also heard of using almond butter but I never buy that because it's expensive and I like peanut butter far better! I did try cashew butter and cauliflower in one, and that was delicious. Endless options!
