Sweet potatoes are terrific winter vegetable. These tubers are loaded with vitamins and minerals, including beta-carotene, vitamin C, fiber, copper, potassium, and iron, and—despite their name—they won’t cause your blood sugar to spike as rapidly as their paler counterparts. Even better, because these orange-fleshed root vegetables are naturally sweet, there’s no need to add loads of sugar to make them appealing to the taste buds. Just a little brown sugar and olive oil is all you really need!
