Hot Potato
While most people prefer it cooked, unlike a regular potato, the sweet potato may actually be consumed raw. You should be aware that, digestion of a raw sweet potato can be difficult when consumed in great quantities. However, one healthy option is to grate it and then add a spoonful or two into a smoothie for its nutritional benefits.

You will need:
You will need 4 Sweet Potatoes (washed and unpeeled)
2 tsp. + 1 tbsp Olive oil

2 cloves Garlic, minced

Smash Time:
I then, remove pan from inside the oven. Next, with a mallet or heavy spatula, I smash down on the potato. Just enough to break open the skin. Meanwhile, mixing remaining oil with rosemary and garlic, I spoon the mixture over the potatoes and season well with salt and pepper.
Finally, return pan to the oven and let the sweet potatoes continue to cook for approximately 20 more minutes or until golden and slightly crispy. Enjoy!
