Fit Food: The Benefits of Sweet Potatoes

A simple baked sweet potato makes a great fiber-rich snack or side. Just toss an unpeeled sweet potato into the oven at 400 degrees and let cook for 30–40 minutes or until soft. You can also nuke them on high for 4–6 minutes. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt or, for some extra kick, drizzle some hot sauce or sriracha on top.
