Notes
*I used roasted purple sweet potato in this recipe but you could use orange or white sweet potatoes too.
** I used 15 drops of liquid stevia, but you can use any natural sweetener you like (for example agave, maple syrup, coconut nectar, honey, or 1-2 pitted dates).
*** To keep this recipe vegetarian, omit the collagen (you could add vanilla whey protein powder instead if you want instead)
TO ROAST PURPLE SWEET POTATOES:
Preheat oven to 325. Drizzle a little cooking oil onto each potato and rub onto the skin until coated. Wrap in foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 1 hour and 30 minutes (or until the sweet potato is soft when you squeeze it). Let cool, cut into rounds and freeze.TO ROAST ORANGE OR WHITE SWEET POTATOES:
Preheat oven to 350. Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork (all over) or lightly pierce with a paring knife. Then wrap in foil, place on a baking sheet, and roast for 60 – 90 min (or until sweet potato is soft when you squeeze it). Let cool, cut into rounds, and freeze.Nutrition
