Simple Roasted Sweet Potato

Saw it on a blog somewhere and then had to look it up! This is a simple meal and very filling- lots of nutrient dense carbohydrates :)

Method:

Prick one large sweet potato with fork tines (to help release steam later).

Place in oven on a roasting pan or rimmed cookie sheet.

Preheat oven to 400 with potato inside, let it cook for total of 45 minutes or until soft throughout.

Once soft, split open, dab with butter or coconut oil and salt, optional roasted garlic.


Nutritional facts: my sweet potato was quite large, about 350-400 grams.  Half of that is about 200 calories, plus any butter you added!
