I love SWEET POTATOES!

I love that they are on sale right now. I love that they are filling and really good for you! I also really love that you can do so much with them. Cut them up make them fries... mash them and make "mashed sweet potatoes" or just make them.

Do you like sweet potatoes? What is your favorite way to make them?

Here is my favorite weight watchers sweet potato recipe... It is a great replacement for the famous sweet potato casseroles at Thanksgiving. I have made this the last few years and it turned out GREAT!!

Ingredients


4 Sweet Potatoes (8 to 9 oz. each)

1 1/2 cups Weight Watchers Nonfat Yogurt

1/2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice

1 1/2 Kosher Salt

2/3 cup Low fat Granola

Cooking spray, butter flavor

Place washed sweet potatoes in oven and bake at 350° F for approximately 40 to 60 minutes, until they are soft to the touch. After the potatoes have cooled, remove the skin.
Place the sweet potato flesh in a mixing bowl. Add Weight Watchers® Vanilla Nonfat Yogurt, pumpkin pie spice and salt. Whip on medium speed until all of the yogurt is mixed into the potatoes.

Coat glass or ceramic baking dish (1 1/2 to 2 quarts) with cooking spray. Scoop potato mixture into the prepared baking dish.

Sprinkle granola evenly across the top of the potatoes and lightly coat with cooking spray. Bake at 350° F for approximately 40 to 50 minutes. Remove from oven and serve.

Serving size: 1/2 cup PointsPlus™ 2*
