Healthy, Fun and Delish – Swaffles!

IMG_4985

While working on expanding my Spiralizer repertoire, I came across a recipe for Sweet Potato Waffles. How sweet it is for your health to eat sweet potatoes! Not only do they taste like dessert, but they provide some surprising health benefits. Many people think about sweet potatoes as being nothing more than plain old potatoes that can tweak our taste buds with some extra flavor. Yet cutting-edge research on sweet potatoes tells us that nothing could be further from the truth as they have so many unique nutritional benefits to offer! There are a surprising number of nutrient categories responsible for the health benefits of this underappreciated tuber. Among these categories are antioxidants, anti-inflammatory nutrients, and blood sugar-regulating nutrients.

In addition to being healthy, sweet potatoes are extremely tasty. Sprializing them for this recipe makes them healthy, fun and delish and since they are sweet potato waffles, I’m calling them Swaffles!

It’s quite a simple process. All you need is your spiralizer and a waffle iron.
