Savoury Brown Rice Slice with Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes really are the bomb…

Who knew they came in so many different varieties? Orange, purple-skinned with white flesh, white-skinned with purple flesh and just recently I have found a purple-skinned, purple fleshed one.  They are all jam-packed with nutrients and antioxidants.

I love to buy the ridiculously over-sized ones at the markets. I roast them whole and serve them like a baked potato with mince,  cheese,salad, yoghurt and sweet chili sauce. YUM! But these super veg are just so versatile – roast them, boil them and mash them or use them to add a kick of flavour to a salad, slice or quiche.

This slice is great as a post-exercise snack. If you cut it into 10 pieces, 1 piece is all you need to re-fuel for each 20 kg of body weight. Also doubles as an excellent lunchbox treat or light dinner with a salad.
