The Health Benefits of Sweet Potatoes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sweet potatoes offer many health benefits. Here are five of them, which will convince you to use more sweet potatoes in your recipes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Sweet potatoes are considered to have a low glycemic index. This means that they are digested slowly, which means you will feel fuller longer. Another food with a low glycemic index? The spelt flour that we use in this recipe and in our granola blends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin C and beta carotene.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Because they are high in fibre, sweet potatoes help prevent constipation and contribute to the overall health of your digestive system, which is very important!<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. A sweet potato baked with its skin on only contains about 100 calories.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Sweet potatoes can help you lose weight. Around 12% of the starch in sweet potato is resistant starch, a substance that is similar to fibre in that it is not digested by the body, but helps to burn energy during digestion.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    How to Cook Sweet Potatoes?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    This recipe for low-carbohydrate waffles is perfect when you need to use up leftover cooked sweet potatoes, especially after Thanksgiving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you still need to cook them, you have three options:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Boiled sweet potatoes: peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into chunks. Place them in a saucepan and cover them with boiling water. Boil for about 15 minutes or until tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Oven-roasted sweet potatoes: Preheat the oven to 400\u00b0F. Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork and wrap them in aluminum foil. Place them directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet and bake for about 45 to 60 minutes, or until tender.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Microwaved sweet potatoes: Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork so they won\u2019t explode. Wet a paper towel and place the sweet potatoes on top of the paper towel on the microwave tray. Microwave on high for about four minutes. Check the sweet potatoes; if they are not yet tender, continue to microwave them for 30 to 60 seconds at a time until they are perfectly cooked.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
