If you like soft-textured and sweet-tasting foods, it is quite likely that  sweet potato has possibly become one of your favorites. It is, as you are sure to know, a wonderful tuberous root belonging to the tuber family (the same one in which we find yucca, yams or potatoes), of characteristic appearance and form, whose flesh is Of yellow color-orange or white depending on the variety.

And in fact, it is a food tremendously valued in the kitchen, especially by the smallest of the house, thanks mainly to its characteristic sweet taste. On this occasion we want to offer you a delicious and different recipe:  roasted sweet potatoes , which can be easily baked.

As we have explained at other times, from a nutritional point of view it becomes a very nutritious food, thanks to the high amount of complex carbohydrates it provides, which means that they are absorbed slowly.

In addition, it also provides fiber, vitamins (provitamin A, vitamin C and folic acid) and minerals (calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium and iron).
