I am a sucker for sweet potatoes. Particularly in late Autumn when the days are shorter and shades of ochre are everywhere. They provide all the comforting, goodness of a potato, with bonus vitamin A, fiber, and antioxidants. And truthfully, it just feels right to match my meals (and my clothing for that matter) with the changing leaves.
Feeling Autumnal, I lugged home an unreasonable number of sweet potatoes this week. As a result, we’ve eaten roasted sweet potato on pizzas, in salads, as a snack with hummus, and even for breakfast over the last couple of days.
This recipe fell out of our sweet potato fest at home and hit the spot. The combo of sweet, salty and aromatic ingredients come together beautifully to create a delicious make-ahead breakfast or snack. I made just one serving, but you can double, triple, quadruple, etc the recipe for healthy, high protein snacks all week long.
