If asked what my desert island food would be, I just might say the humble baked sweet potato. Okay, I would totallysay the sweet potato. First off, they are nutritious to boot! Did you know these tubers are one of the most nutritious vegetables in the produce section? So not only would I be eating a tasty dinner each night on my island, I would be getting all sorts of nutrients. And let’s not forget to mention how downright delicious these spuds are! They are creamy, slightly sweet, and full of carb-y goodness.

Now, white baked potatoes seem to get all the love, but trust me on this one, a baked sweet potato is totally in the same league. This orange spud can hold its own in the baked potato department.

Now, taking sweet potatoes to the next level is as easy as loading them with all sorts of toppings. It takes this veggie from a side dish to the star of the show. My favorite topping combination is Mexican inspired. The earthy flavors of black beans, the spiciness of salsa, and the cooling creaminess of guacamole are the perfect accompaniments to a perfectly baked sweet potato.

So get ready to pile these spuds high with all the toppings!
