Here’s a quick-to-fix recipe that will satisfy even my hungriest snack attack.

Sweet potatoes are extremely healthy so I’m always looking for different ways to include them in my diet. I must admit that I grew up thinking sweet potatoes were meant to be eaten with lots of butter and marshmallows. Now, I am slowly developing different ways to enjoy them that don’t necessarily require large amounts of sugar.

This easy gluten-free snack or appetizer also works well as a side dish for a meal, especially a sandwich or a dinner salad. The sweet flavor of the sweet potatoes contrasts nicely with the spicy tang of mustard and dill in the creamy sauce.

One serving of these nutrition-packed sweets gives me 4 grams of dietary fiber according to the USDA and also provides me with over 400% of my daily Vitamin A and more than a third of the Vitamin C that I need. Those are good reasons to include them more often in my diet. I hope you’ll enjoy trying some, too.
