Baked Sweet Potato Cubes

I have a confession: I am completely obsessed with sweet potatoes.

They are my go to and one of my all-time favorite foods. I grew up with a mother who is a former hippie. She did not believe in feeding my sister and me processed or sugary foods. Marmie was always on the lookout for ways to make our diets healthy. Some of the things we consumed as children were a little weird. Like, when she put blue green algae in our orange juice. Other things like these healthy sweet potato fries were out-of-this-world good.

This recipe is a momma Hopkins original. She is the woman who taught me how nourish my body with delicious and healthy food. You all are going to fall in love with these little guys!

(Peeling the sweet potatoes is optional)

Fun fact: In addition to being delightful, sweet potatoes are a great source of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, manganese, and many other nutrients!
