Today, I’ve brought you a recipe that some of you may already be familiar with, but, instead of the usual potato I’ve used sweet potato instead. Sweet potato is the healthier, more delicious cousin of the potato! This recipe is very easy to make and doesn’t take long. Who said that eating well isn’t easy?

Sweet potato was brought to Europe from America by Christopher Columbus and is also known as Chaco or batata. Sweet potatoes have long been overlooked even though they belong to the same family as the potato, which have less nutrients. 

Sweet potatoes on the other hand are very nutritious, they contain fiber, iron, potassium, vitamin C and zinc, plus, they also contain fewer calories.
