Sweet Potatoes are extremely nutritious, but often they are served in a concoction of sugars and fats topped with marshmallows. While that is delicious, it more than negates the nutritious qualities. At a recent dinner party I had a delicious, savory sweet potato dish that I wanted to share. It is amazingly simple, and the flavor is incredible. Plus- compared to the Thanksgiving table variety of sweet potato, this seems fairly healthy.
