Sweet Potato Soufflé

Hi Friends. Hope this recipe makes your Tuesday a little less Bluesday. This week I am lucky enough to have my big brother in town! Thanks GE for having training up here,it is so great to have family around. Let me know what you have going on this week in the comments!

JJ and I love sweet potatoes and this time of year they seem to be our go-to comfort food. Since I am rooting for root veggies it’s only normal that I give you a recipe or two. Last year I came up with this deliciously easy sweet potato souffle recipe and it’s about time I shared it with you wonderful people! There is no added sweetener because sweet potatoes are sweet enough. And if you don’t agree with me, it might be time for you to quit the sugar already. 

Sweet potatoes are incredibly delicious and nutrient dense. This soufflé can act as your dessert without any feelings of guilt (which you shouldn’t assign to your food anyway). These lovely root veggies are rich in fiber, vitamin C, beta carotene (which converts to vitamin A in the body), b-vitamins, manganese, copper, magnesium and much more. That’s right these tasty starchy veggies are power houses AND they are currently in season this November and December, so eat up!

I personally like to eat my sweet potatoes post workout as they are easy to digest, rich in carbohydrates and vitamins and can help to recover from a tough workout. I sometimes use this recipe as my “dessert” as well. Enjoy and let me know when you make this, I love seeing you recreate recipes 🙂
