Another new favorite. This is what I make when I have a sweet tooth, since I don't keep any type of sweets in the house. You could use a few teaspoons of regular sugar if you don't like the idea of Splenda, but add 15 calories per teaspoon used. As opposed to the baked potatoes that I like crunchy, I like these nice and soft. Sweet potatoes are about the same way as far as grams = calories. Each 200 grams also has .5g fat and 4g protein. If you don't already have a good kitchen scale, get one! Calories below are approximate and will vary based on size of potato. A 200g sweet potato is a good sized, medium potato, plenty for one person.
Cinnamon Baked Sweet Potatoes
1 sweet potato (weighed)
cinnamon
1 tbl liquid spray butter
2 tsps sugar or 4 packets Splenda
fat free cooking spray
Preheat oven to 400. Wash, slice and dice potato into small cubes. Put them in a large bowl and drizzle the butter over the top. Toss to coat. Sprinkle a layer of cinnamon on the potatoes and 1 tsp sugar (or 2 packets Splenda). Toss to coat. Repeat this one more time. Spray a baking dish with fat free cooking spray and arrange the potatoes in a single layer. Cook for 20-40 minutes depending upon thickness and desired consistency. 1 potato = 1 serving with: approx 200 calories/.5g fat/4g protein.
