Spicy Sweet Potatoes

So what comes to mind when you think of sweet potatoes? Sugary, marshmallowy, high calorie holiday side dish? Well think again! Believe it or not, sweet potatoes are one of the most nutritious foods around. They are a great source of dietary fiber, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron and calcium. This is definitely one of my favorite side dishes to make. The spicy and sweet combination makes a great addition to any meal.
