Jake's favorite food has always been sweet potatoes, and now that he refuses to eat purees I have been trying to think about how to keep sweet potatoes in his diet while doing a big batch cooking. I tried roasted sweet potatoes tonight, which were a huge hit and I have a giant bag of potatoes in my freezer for future meals which is a huge bonus.
Ingrediants
3 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Pam cooking spray
Directions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
2. Wash and peel sweet potatoes
3. Dice sweet potatoes into small sqaures
4. Toss sweet potatoes with oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl
5. Spray baking sheet with Pam [Pam Original Cooking Spray, 6 oz] and lay sweet potatoes on baking sheet.
6. Cook for 40 - 50 minutes, stirring / tossing sweet potatoes every 10 minutes until tender.
For freezing:
7. Let sweet potatoes cool on the baking sheet completely, then place entire sheet in the freezer for at least 4 hours, but not to exceed 24 hours.
8. Using a spatula, remove sweet potatoes and place in a ziploc freezer bag.
To reheat:
9. I'll take approx. 1/4 cup per serving, place in a microwave safe bowl and book for 45 seconds - 1 minute on high until cooked completely.
Bella LOVES these too! For some extra flavor, try some fresh rosemary on the sweet potatoes! DELISH!! :)
