I tried this way of fixing sweet potatoes one year. They are a lot more healthy and everyone loves them. My grandmother used to request them when we would have holiday dinners.

Ingredients

  • sweet potatoes (recommended: one per person)
  • diet butter or regular butter
  • salt and pepper
  • cinnamon
  • cooking spray
  • aluminum foil

Directions

Peel your sweet potatoes. Slice potatoes in half lenghtwise, then a few more times[ like you are making home fries ]. Tear aluminum foil in medium size pieces, spray the foil, arrange potatoes on foil, lightly sprinkle with salt, pepper, cinnamon, and a dab of either butter. Seal the aluminum foil starting at one end and across the top, then before sealing the other end add water and seal. When i do this part i just hold it under the tap and add enough water to each serving pack to keep them from drying out, maybe 1/4-1/2 C. or more depending on how much you put in each one. You can then arrange them in the oven around all your other things that are cooking or put them on the top rack of your grill and cook till tender.
