Sweet potato is one of my favourite foods. Full of fibre and manganese, these components in addition to cinnamon, further assist in the carbohydrate metabolism, and therefore healthy blood sugar levels, satiety and hormonal control. Sweet potato is also packed full of vitamins and antioxidants, making it a fine example of nutrient density and one of nature’s best carbohydrate sources.
These Cinnamon Roasted Sweet Potato Chips are a fantastic side dish with your choice of protein and greens. Serve with my Sugar Free Tomato Sauce and you’ll never need deep fried chips again. Enjoy.
