BEFORE & AFTER: Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are nutritious and tasty, but let's see what happens when we sprinkle them with some magic
Sweet Potato Magic
For the basic recipe:
- 5 medium sweet potatoes, washed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
Now, when we add Ayala's Magic Spice, we reduce the salt, because it really isn't needed, and simply add a few tablespoons of goodness.
Sweet potato with Ayala's Magic Spice:
- 5 medium sweet potatoes, washed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons Ayala's Magic Spice
The difference in taste is dramatic, wish I could give you a bite.
Now lets look at the nutrition -- by the numbers:
Sweet potato WITHOUT Ayala's Magic Spice
Sweet potato WITH Ayala's Magic Spice
The nutrition bump with Ayala's Magic Spice
Iron: Up by 250%.
Protein: Up by 160% (all added protein is complete protein -- which contains all essential amino acids).
This small side dish now contains the daily need of Thiamin, Riboflavin, B6.
It contains 20% of daily need of B12.
Selenium: Up 400%.
And because it's now deeply flavored, we needed less salt, and sodium is reduced to 1/3 of original recipe.
