This is my new favorite way to eat sweet potatoes.
It's also really easy. Really, really, easy.
Here's what you need:
Sweet potatoes
Olive oil
Black Pepper
Smoked Paprika
Granulated Garlic (yes, I do this the lazy way)
Cayenne Pepper
Salt
Peel the sweet potatoes, or scrub them. I usually leave the peels on.
Cut sweet potatoes into chunks, and place in a baking pan.
Add spices and olive oil.
Mix well to coat evenly- I used my hands. Yes, I washed them. I compulsively wash my hands when I cook... should I not have said that?
Bake, uncovered, at 210 C till the sweet potatoes begin to carmelize (about 45 min). You may want to gently stir halfway through cooking time.
Serve hot or cold.
What's your favorite way to eat sweet potatoes?
I like sweet potatoes, and the price has come down lately. My family, however, just doesn't enjoy sweet potatoes the way I do. I really don't know why!!

| my sweet potato pile |
I wanted to come up with a something made with sweet potatoes that the others would enjoy too, and so far 3 of my 4 children are happy with my new kugel.
So I have this pile of sweet potatoes, that I got for a pretty great price (5 shekel/kg), and I decided that now is the time to make a bunch of kugels for the freezer.
Here's the recipe, enough for 1 kugel in a casserole size pan.
2 good size sweet potatoes, diced and steamed (I use a steamer basket in a pot on the stove)
2 good size onions, sliced or diced, cooked in a heavy pan (I used my cast iron pan, my favorite) with olive oil till they begin to carmelize.
2 eggs
2 cups non-dairy "milk" - I use either soymilk or coconut milk
1/4 c. ground flaxseeds
basil (lots), salt, and pepper
First spread the sweet potato out, covering the bottom of the pan. Then, layer the carmelized onions on top of the sweet potatoes.
Mix the eggs, non dairy milk, flaxseed, and seasonings together. (mix very well)
Pour the mixture over the sweet potatoes and onions.
Bake for about 1 hour at 425 F.
Let me know what you think!
