After being on Weight Watchers for 9 weeks (today starts week 10), I've learned a lot able preparing foods in ways that makes them better for you &, believe it or not, better tasting!
Today, while looking around the kitchen for a lite snack, I discovered one, lonely sweet potato sitting in the veggie bowl. I quickly pulled out my handy, dandy, WW cookbook & browsed through the pages until I discovered a recipe for sweet potato chips. Immediately, I starting slicing & weighing.
Once the potatoes were in the oven, it was time to come up with a yummy, low calorie dip. The first thing that came to mind was the container of Greek, peach yogurt in the refrigerator. With a few spices, it was made into a de-lite-ful dip :)
Sweet Potato Chips
(Makes 2 servings; 1 Point per serving)
Sweet Potato, 1/2 lb (about 1 large)
1/4 tsp. sugar
pinch of salt
Peel & thinly slice the potato. Cover with sugar & salt. Cover with cold water & allow to sit for 30 minutes.
Drain potatoes & lay in a single layer on a cookie sheet that's been sprayed with non-fat cooking spray.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake 35-40 minutes, turning frequently. Don't worry if they're not crispy at first. They will crisp up as they sit.
Meanwhile...
Peach Yogurt Dip
(Makes 2 servings; 1.5 Points per serving)
Chobani Greek Yogurt, peach flavored, 1 - 6 oz container
1/4 tsp. Cinnamon
1/8 tsp. Nutmeg
Combine ingredients in a glass bowl. Mix well. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
