Рецепт Sweetpotato Lentil Cakes [Recipe Redux]
I received free samples of California sweetpotato mentioned in this post. By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by the California Sweetpotato Council and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
When I think of fall foods, one of the first ones the come to mind are sweetpotatoes. Even though California sweetpotatoes are available all year; the orange flesh reminds me of fall. I didn’t forget to press the space bar, I deliberately left out the space between sweet and potato. That’s because the California Sweetpotato Council wants consumers to understand that California sweetpotatoes are not your typical sweetpotato, they are an entirely different vegetable, and a tasty one at that.
The California sweetpotatoes are grown in soft sand and are hand sorted during harvest to minimize scarring and scratching. They are not to be confused with yams which are dry and starchy, and are not readily available in the United States. In contrast, California sweetpotatoes are sweet and moist and as I mentioned previously, they are available year round, which is good news for a sweetpotato lover like me. Sweetpotatoes are nutrition powerhouse too; one medium cooked sweetpotato contains 4 grams of fiber, 2 grams of protein. They are a good source of vitamin C and more than a day’s worth of vitamin A, and all of that for 105 calories per serving!
There are so many ways to eat sweetpotatoes ; one of my favorites is just plain and baked in the oven. These delicious vegetables don’t need a lot of fancy ingredients to enhance their flavor, they do fine all by themselves! However, if you are looking for new and creative ways with sweetpotatoes, I’m sure you will find several delicious recipes from me and other contestants below.
