We all know that if you’re gonna eat potatoes then unless you’re bulking up, you should stick with sweet potatoes. Along with oats and rice, sweet potatoes are my main source of carbs which I eat each and every day.

With a just a little bit of effort, you can transform your normally bland tasting sweet potatoes into something quite tasty.

So here’s another cracking sweet Potato recipe from our friends over at Metabolic Cooking.

Ingredients:

• 2 medium (5oz) sweet potatoes
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• ¼ teaspoon onion powder
• ¼ teaspoon thyme
• ¼ teaspoon rosemary
• ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
• Pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil

Preparation:

• Preheat oven to 375oF. In a small bowl, stir together paprika, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper.
• Slice the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise.
• Brush each half with olive oil.
• Rub the seasoning mix over the cut surface of each half.
• Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet or in a shallow pan.
