Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Rosemary
We
love roasted sweet potatoes in our family, and it is also a perfect
replacement for the potatoes. Potatoes has a high glycemic index we
don't eat it as often.
Sweet
potatoes are packed with the antioxidants beta-carotene and vitamin C
and E. They are part of the morning glory family and they don’t belong
in the same family as potatoes. They are rich in complex carbohydrates
and low in calories. A four oz serving of sweet potatoes will provide
more than 14 milligrams of beta-carotene. Sweet potatoes are high in
fiber and suitable for people with diabetes. The fiber indirectly lowers
blood sugar by slowing the rate at which food is converted to glucose
and absorbed into the blood stream. Sweet potatoes also contain vitamin
B6 and folate.
I
found a new recipe on a Paleo diet website and we tried it for the
first time on Thanksgiving. It is a really easy and delicious recipe.
