sweet potato... bored

[LiL USMC BBer]

I'm new to the whole sweet potato eating thing. About 3 weeks into eating them. I'm already bored of 'em.

Been just microwaving them and just eating it like that.

Anyone got any idea's to make them taste better? Seriously there so good for you I need them to help me.

I have done several things with them.

1. Add cinnamon and splenda on top, with a few sprays of the spray on butter.

2. Add salsa on top

3. Cut them up and stir them into a meal with other veggies and chicken. Add low cal BBQ sauce to the mix. Quite tasty.

4. Bake them in an actual oven in batches. Put them in the fridge and micro later. They taste very different when baked in a real oven vs micro.

Those are all things I have tried so far and I enjoyed them all. Good luck, let me know if you come up with some wild idea too.

what I do is I spray it with butter flavored pam, and rub the skin with cinnamon and splenda. I either then microwave it or wrap it in foil and cook it in the oven. When its done I split it open slab on some fat free butter and sprinkle more cinnamon to taste. I then sometimes douse it with a little atkins maple syrup.

cut them into strips and grill them

roast them in the oven

bake them in the oven

boil them and mash em (this is the worst of the 4 options as they loose nutritional value when boiled)

[Sicshift]

I like em mashed. Dice em into small 1inch cubes. Steam them for 10 minutes. Mash em up. Then add fake butter or whatever you want, some salt or fake salt and I love it that way.

It's very simple too and you can make a lot at one time for the next few days.

Can you eat a sweet potatoe raw?

[bigredlemon]

bake it in the oven for 2 hours until it liquidfies. drink it. mmmm...... sugar

[nsouth]

Twice baked
Bake them once, then scoop out the innards and add applesauce and fat free cheddar. Now bake them until they're crunchy on top.

Yummy

I'm gonna try some of these... thanks guys.

I was always under the impression that yams are the same as sweet potato but just found out recently they are totally different. I saw yams at the grocery store but it was in a can with frekin sugary syrup. Um no thanks...

So taste wise what is better? yams or sweet potato?

[IndyRugby]

yams and sweet potatoes dont taste too different, sweet potatoes may be a little sweeter(hence the name), yams are a bit more firm and dont get mushy as easy. Ive been getting yams, but sweet potatoes arent bad.

i find the yellow ones higly delicious. they kind of taste like good, and i love good

I saw that to everyone. lol.

people are like "ewww you eat cottage cheese? flax seed oil? you eat raw oatmeal?!!?? you mix it with eggs?"

I simply say "I don't eat for the taste I eat for fuel."

only to get comments like "so if dog **** was high in protein would you eat that too??"

but this... I don't know sweet potato's I just can't down 'em...

[aztecwolf161]

bake the sweet potato, cut in half and pour on some cajun seasoning, oh so good

[LiL USMC BBer]

is there such a thing as sugarless marshmellow's?

mmmmmmm

[blueprint27]

I've never really had sweet potato as a staple in my clean bulking diet, can someone tell me about their nutritional value/advantages of eating it.. thanks
I'm currently bulking on skim milk, tuna, wheat bread, natty peanut butter, egg whites, brown rice, chicken breasts, sirloin steak(occasionally), salmon, sardines, apples, bananas, fat free cottage cheese, flax oil, oatmeal, and good ol' ON Whey... maybe you can sway my mind to take in sweet potatoes..

[Cronus]

Juice them....its so easy and fast. I feel like it takes forever to eat the food on my plate without that giant sweet potato. And if you dont really like the tase, juice it with a small apple and its pretty good and great for pre-workout.

[VincentiT]

I like to cut them up thin, throw 'em in a skillet with some olive oil. Let them brown up and then throw a few eggs in. Add some feta cheese and hot sauce.. yumm. Home fries on crack

that's pretty lame.

[Cumulonimbus]

Boil the sweet potato, then mash it with almond butter, cinnamon and splenda. OMG tastes like pumpkin pie, I love it!

[NaLLa8705]

cut them up like french fries and bake them. taste great

I do this with some Cajun seasoning dipped in franks/texas pete and ketchup. Delicious!!

[JeffR88]

Try baking one for an hr, add some: cinnamon, 1 tbsp of pb, and garnish it with a drizzle of maple syrup.


It's f***ing delicious

[|progress|]

Sweet Potato Fries. Add Ketchup. Good ****.

[wildthings]

Cut the sweet potatoes into thin slices, coat them with egg whites then bake them. They taste really great. I like to use japanese sweet potato, they are red on the outside and creamy white on the inside.

^^^^^^^

I was gonna say this (although I haven't tried with cheese)

[jpatter123]

I usually just bake them, mash and add splenda.

Some times I slice them and steam them with broccoli and cauliflower, but to me it tastes a lot like carrots when steamed.

I've also baked, then mashed, add a few egg whites, splenda, cinnamon and vanilla protein powder and bake (tastes a lot like pumpkin pie). Same approach can be made to make it into pancake batter. Check around the net for more precise recipes.
