Sweet Potato Steaks!

My daughter and I love our sweet potatoes!  Our favorite dish is baked sweet potato wedges!  We decided to try something new and something I never saw before.

Sweet Potato Steaks

• 2-3 Sweet potatoes cut in rounds
• 3 tbls Dijon Mustard
• 2 tbls Olive oil
• 1 clove garlic minced
• 1/2 tsp seasoning (we used red pepper flakes)

1. Pre-heat oven to 350
2. Cut potatoes
3. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and coat Sweet potato rounds
4. Bake until tender 30-45 mins.

These were so yummy!  We will definitely do this recipe again!  I had lots of extra topping cause I only did 2 sweet potatoes so measurements should be fine for 3 longish potatoes.

Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Breakfast Granola Squares

School starts tomorrow for my kids! Sometimes breakfast can be hectic on the first day so I came up with this very healthy recipe!  You can trade out the almond milk for any kind of milk.  And the almond butter for real butter if you like.  I am so happy with how these squares turned out!  Even my son who hates sweet potato likes them! 

Sweet Potato Breakfast Granola Squares 

• 1 large sweet potato (baked and mashed)
• 1/2 c. almond milk
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp. nutmeg
• 1/2  c. maple syrup
• 2 Tbls. coconut butter
• 2 c. old-fashioned oats
• 1/2 c. nuts, seeds, coconut(chopped)
• 1/2  c. dried fruit(chopped)

1. Combine sweet potato, almond milk, maple syrup with cinnamon, and nutmeg.  I used a blender but you could mix it to.
2. Add the oats, nuts, seeds, coconut and dried fruit to the mix.
3. Press the mix evenly into a greased 8x10 pan.
4. Bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes or until golden brown. Before cutting, cool completely.
5. Enjoy!

Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A (betacarotene) and Vitamin C. Both Vitamins A and C are powerful antioxidants that work in the body to remove free radicals, these free radicals are chemicals that damage cells.
