Healthy Sweet Potato, Apple and Parsnip Bake

Sweet PotatosThis is truly about as healthy as you can get!

Nothing but real food, a little water and (my favorite spice) cinnamon.

A couple of Thanksgiving’s ago I wanted to do something different for the “sweet potato” dish. My husband and I love sweet potatoes. We eat them almost everyday. Nine times out of ten you can find a couple already baked in our fridge. Why? Because when you plan and prepare you have things cooked sitting your fridge ready to heat up. Right? Anyways, sweet potatoes are by far my favorite complex (good) carb. I literally could eat one at every meal. I know, I’m weird. So, I searched the internet for recipes and found a couple that sounded good. Most of them called for honey, brown sugar or maple syrup but being that sweet potatoes and apples natural sugar I thought I could pull it off without adding any kind of sweetener. Guess what? It worked! Talk about good!

The Recipe

Bake four good size sweet potatoes until almost done. Peel and slice.

Peel 2-3 baking apples (I like granny smith’s)

1 large Parsnip

2 Tbs water

Sprinkle Cinnamon on top

Cover and bake at 350 for about 25 minutes. Uncover and check. Continue baking if need be.

Note: I peel and slice the apples then cut the slice in half. I also put in a slice of a parsnip every other layer. If you really like parsnips use two and layer however you wish. As I am typing I just thought, eew, you could chop up some pecans and sprinkle on top. Pumpkin seeds would be good too. Add your own touch and let me know how your touch turns out.

Enjoy!
