Looking for a recipe to brea

When kids help make healthy food, they are more likely to try it. Show kids how to: ❁ scrub sweet potatoes under cool running water. ❁ prick whole sweet potatoes with a fork before baking or microwaving. ❁ mix sweet potato cubes with oil and seasonings before roasting.

Fresh/Raw: Serve sticks or thin rounds with your favorite dip, or grate and toss in a salad.

❁ Choose firm, smooth skinned sweet potatoes without cuts, soft spots or bruises.

❁ Fresh sweet potatoes are likely to be lowest cost and best quality from October to January.

❁ Frozen and canned sweet potatoes (yams) are available year-round.
