As healthy foods go, sweet potatoes are hard to beat. These bright orange, fiber-packed tubers are rich in vitamins and minerals, and are a great choice for any diet. They’re also a low glycemic index (GI) food which means they can help avoid spikes in blood sugar levels.

Sweet potatoes are perfect for the novice home cooks, like me, because they’re easy to prepare. Roasting is a simple method of cooking and even more fun to dress up with spicy lean taco meat, low fat cheese and crisp lettuce.
