Twice Baked Yams
I love these for two reasons – the nutrition and the sweet taste. This carb is a great accompaniment to a burger in a bowl or a plate of roasted veggies tossed with hemp seeds. Adding hemp seeds is a great way to introduce some omega-3 and omega-6 essential fatty acids as well as quality protein with no added carbohydrates. Are you a practitioner?

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 4 small garnet yams fist-sized
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon grated ginger
- 4 scallions sliced thinly
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
Directions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Rub the outside of each yam with oil and add to a sheet pan. Roast for 45 minutes or until a toothpick can be pierced through the yam with no resistance. Set aside to cool.
- Once cool enough to handle, cut a slit into the top of the yam and carefully scoop out all the flesh of the yam into a bowl.
- Mash the yam with the sea salt and grated ginger. Add back to the yam skins and bake for another 10 minutes.
- Top with sliced scallions.
Notes
Note: Garnet yams have a deep red skin and orange flesh. Sweet potatoes have a blond skin and interior. Sweet potatoes are more starchy than sweet.
