I tried just baking sweet potatoes and giving Duckie and Kiwi chunks. Failure.. But I can put Sweet potatoes into JUST about ANYTHING and they will eat it. (french toast, muffins, pancakes.)
So I decided to make some sweet potato fries.
I sliced a sweet potato, then tossed it with some oil.
Then I quartered a about 8-10 carrots and tossed those too.
I preheated my oven and my baking sheets to 400.
I spread the potatoes and carrots out on the pans. Turned them after about 12-15 minutes. I think it took about 25-30 minutes to get everything ince and soft.. ( they didn't get crispy on the outside, maybe if I had baked them on a wire rack. but i can't find mine....)
I remembered something my grandmother had asked when I had seen her last, "Do they like cinnamon?" I decided to make sweet sweet potatoes.
In a big bowl I sprinkled about 2 tsp of cinnamon, 1/4-1/5 tsp of fresh grated nutmeg and about 2 tbs of sugar. then I tossed the carrots and sweet potatoes in the cinnamon and sugar right out of the oven. Then Serve....
Declan had two servings, Daddy had two servings, Caleigh ate all of hers, I was JAZZED, and this was all that was left.
I tricked my family into eating sweet potatoes and carrots.... AWESOME.
