Sweet potatoes are loaded with vitamins (A and C), minerals and antioxidants. Sweet potatoes are also packed with fiber. Fiber does an excellent job binding together with gunk and toxins in your digestive tract which may be inhibiting you from reaching your optimal body bliss.

Almond Butter Sweet Potato Fries
Serving Size: 2
Ingredients
1 tablespoon almond butter
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper, for taste
Directions
Pre-heat oven to 450F degrees.
Wash potato and dry. Then slice sweet potato into long skinny strips, or thin rounds. Set aside.
In a bowl combine the almond butter and olive oil. Add potato sticks or potato rounds (depending on how you sliced them) into the almond butter dressing, making sure to coat each piece well using your hands.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and place the sweet potato sticks or rounds on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place into the oven and bake for 45 minutes – 1 hour. Remove the sweet potato fries when the almond butter is just beginning to bubble on top. (The fries won’t immediately look crispy and done, but the are ready to be removed at this time mark.) Set the baking sheet on the counter for 10 minutes to let the fries crisp further. Enjoy!
