This recipe for Roasted Balsamic Sweet Potatoes is the first in a series of Thanksgiving holiday recipes from the recently released Mr. Food Test Kitchen’s Guilt-Free Comfort Favorites (American Diabetes Association, September 2018, ISBN: 978-1-580-40690-1, $22.95).
The more than 130 recipes in the cookbook were created for those with diabetes or pre-diabetes, or anyone wishing to create healthier versions of traditional holiday comfort foods. The American Diabetes Association teamed up the culinary team at Mr. Food Test Kitchen for these holiday recipes. That team produces a daily nationally syndicated television segment that reaches an audience of four million.
All recipes posted from this cookbook have been approved by the American Diabetes Association to meet nutritional guidelines.
In this recipe, sweet potatoes take center stage. According to the cookbook, they’re often considered a good choice for a person with diabetes because they are higher in dietary fiber, vitamins, and minerals than regular white potatoes.
