My new favorite dessert: candied yams without the candy
Filed under: coconut oil, product recommendations, recipes, superfood |
Comments (3) As we roll into autumn, my new favorite snack is yams.
Yes, you heard me, baked yams.
I simply wrap them in tin-foil and bake them like regular baked potatoes.
(350 degrees for approximately an hour or until soft)
Then, when I’m ready to serve them, I top them with a dollop of Nutiva’s coconut oil.
Much like vanilla bean butter, coconut oil is wonderfully fragrant and is just a little bit sweet. It’s also incredibly good for you!
Because in addition to just tasting great, coconut oil also boosts your metabolism. And if that weren’t enough, it can also be used as a skin and hair conditioner, as well as deodorant and toothpaste!
I bought the 15 ounce jars on Amazon as a test, but I’m pretty sure that my next order will be the 54 ounce tubs!
Seriously, check this stuff out. It’s amazing! It’s also great for sauteing kale and texturizing smoothies!
