Sweet potatoes have a place on many holiday menus and family dinner tables this time of year. As a traditional comfort food, they are often served with brown sugar, marshmallows and lots of butter.
But they are called "sweet" potatoes for a reason: They are already sweet!
This recipe from Carilion Clinic's Dining and Nutrition Services balances the tubers' natural sweetness with a kick from unexpected spices. Gluten-free and lactose-free, a half-cup serving of chili roasted sweet potatoes has only 160 calories, 7 grams fat and 14 grams carbs.
