\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

INGREDIENTS<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Sweet Potato (washed and unpeeled)
\nReal Maple Syrup (optional)
\nSalt<\/p>\n

Sesame Seeds<\/p>\n

Method:<\/h2>\n

Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius
\nLine a large baking tray with grease proof paper or a small amount of oil to prevent the potato from sticking to the tray
\nChop the potato into medium sized pieces (it really doesn’t matter what size). If you are in a rush chop the potato into small pieces and it will cook faster
\nBake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes or until you can pierce the potato easily right through with a knife
\nWhen cooked, drizzle the potato with maple syrup and a sprinkle of sesame seeds and salt and return to the oven for 5 minutes to caramelise.<\/p>\n

NUTRITION<\/strong>
\nSesame seeds are an excellent source of copper and manganese. They are also an excellent source of magnesium, calcium, phosphorous and zinc, as well as fibre. They add a delicious nutty flavour to the dish with a crunch.<\/p>\n

Sweet potatoes are a slow release carbohydrate making them an excellent source of energy to get you through a busy day. High in fibre they are also a fabulous source of vitamin A for healthy hair,skin and nails and fighting free radicals and potassium for a healthy heart.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
