Honey and cinnamon roasted sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes and Thanksgiving go hand in hand. I remember as a child looking forward to my grandmother’s creamy sweet potato casserole topped with melted marshmallows. It makes my mouth water just to think about it.
But the old-fashioned sweet potato casserole I grew up eating just isn’t good for you at all. And it’s such a shame to take one of the best sources of the powerful antioxidant beta-carotene, touted to be protective against cancer and aging, and trump its health benefits by smothering it in butter and sugar.

Here’s a yummy sweet potato recipe that’s much better for you. One of the ingredients in this recipe is olive oil. Including fat in sweet potato dishes significantly boosts the uptake of the beta-carotene, a carotenoid, from sweet potatoes. So you can enjoy a sinfully delicious side dish without the guilt.
Carotenoids are great for fueling up the brain and boosting your health by preventing:
- Cancer
- Eye disease
- Cardiovascular disease
- Osteoporosis
