Info from Real Simple article = Sweet Potatoes: The darker the color, the richer these tubers are in the antioxidant beta-carotene. Try this: For a side dish, steam cut-up sweet potatoes and apples. Puree with maple syrup and crushed red pepper.

Perfect for an afternoon snack! I really liked the coating, even though sweet potatoes are not my favorite!
