Sweet potatoes are a super food you need!
Sweet potatoes (also known as yams) are an all year round vegetable that should be incorporated into any healthy vegetarian diet. They have a delicious natural flavour of sweetness and are the perfect kid-friendly vegetable – meaning everyone’s happy at the dinner table! But not only that, baked sweet potatoes are packed with nutrients to aid for a healthier YOU. With just 180 calories in one medium sweet potato, you can find an amazing range of vitamins and minerals, C, B6, magnesium and potassium. Plus, with gut health becoming a big topic, it is important to note the colourful super food ingredient contains two kinds of fibre (soluble and insoluble) that are incredible for your digestion and promote a healthy gut! Following baked sweet potato recipes can also boost your immune system too! The orange, sweet ingredient is one of the best natural sources of beta-carotene, which is then turned into Vitamin A, which is vital to healthy immune system functioning. We have tonnes of other sweet potato recipes, which you can check out here: sweet potato recipes.
Keep sprinkling that feta cheese on your crispy skinned potatoes
Along with the nutrients of sweet potatoes, this vegetarian recipe piles on even more healthy nutrients by sprinkling feta cheese on the baked potato. Feta cheese is made from sheep and goat’s milk and has fewer calories than aged cheeses like cheddar and Parmesan (and Parmesan isn’t even vegetarian in the EU, though it often is in the US). But what’s even better about feta cheese is that it contains friendly bacteria that seem to help your immune system and gut health. So you could say this sweet potato and feta bake recipe is the best hassle-free meal to create!
