Savory Sweet Potatoes (self.food)

submitted 11 months ago by pslightlypsycho47 to c/[email protected]

I've been eating healthy recently and would like to add sweet potatoes to my diet since they are quite nutritious. Although I'm not a picky eater, the semi sweetness of this variety isn't appetizing to me. Does anyone have any suggestions or recipes to help them taste more savory? Thanks in advance!

Salt, pepper, garlic, chipotle, coriander. If you don't like the sweetness but want varied carbohydrates you could try green (not yellow, those are much sweeter) plantains prepared similarly. Non-sweet winter squash might also also be a good choice for you, acorn I think it's the most popular. It goes wonderfully in Curry or stew. You may also appreciate celery root prepared like mashed potatoes (that's the only way I've had it).

Hmm interesting. Haven't made squash before. I'll keep that in mind.
