Chili-Spiced Sweet Potatoes
Description
Mashed sweet potatoes are a great addition to any Thanksgiving Day spread. This easy-to-make orange and chili-spiked mixture is a refreshing twist on typically heavy potato dishes. Low in fat and high in fiber, the complex carbohydrates of sweet potatoes along with the blood-sugar stabilizing spices are a great nutritional combo, and the bright flavors will make this dish a requested tradition.
