Sweet Potato Experiments

Sweet Potato is a great carbohydrate because it is cheap and has zero saturated fat.These french fries were simple to make.

The ingredients needed:
1. Olive oil
2. Pepper or your own seasoning (I used hickory smoke salt)
3. One sweet potato

Directions:
1. Cut up the sweet potato
2. Spread evenly on a cookie sheet
3. Drizzle oil
4. Season
5. Stick them in the oven at 400 degrees for 10 min
6. Flip it over
7. They go in for about 15 more min or until crispy

Just bought the salt free ketchup from Fred Meyer's on Sunday and it tastes like the real deal. There is a salt substitute in it.


Another way to eat a sweet potato is to roast it in the oven:
1. Wrap it in foil with olive oil
2. Stick it in a oven for 400 degrees for 1.5 hours
And you are pau

Nice and hot
For a sweeter taste (and if you enjoy the consistency of baby food):
1. Mash it up when it is hot
2. Mix in a generous amount of maple syrup and little bit of brown sugar
