Foil Baked Yams

Wednesday, June 30th, 2004

Try wrapping a small yam in aluminum foil and baking
in the oven until soft (approximately 30 minutes at 350 degrees F.)
Cut open and top with cinnamon. 1/3 cup of sweet potato/yam is
equal to one starch/bread exchange. 1 starch/bread exchange is
equal to 15 grams of carbohydrate and about 80 calories. If you
must top with brown sugar, Sweet N’ Low makes a suitable brown
sugar substitute.
