Carb key 2
As delicious as traditional baked potatoes and sour cream – but without the guilt. Sweet potatoes are a better carb choice and the onions add a sweet flavour!
¼ cup (60 ml) lemon juice
2 tbsp (30 ml) water
4 tsp (20 ml) finely grated fresh ginger
1 small chilli, seeded and chopped (optional)
1 clove of garlic, crushed
2 onions, cut into wedges
6-8 (700-900 g) small sweet potatoes, in the skin
black pepper to taste
¾ cup (180 ml) plain smooth low-fat cottage cheese
handful fresh coriander leaves
2. Mix oil, lemon juice, water, ginger, chilli and garlic in a large bowl. Add onions and sweet potatoes and toss to coat the veggies. Season with pepper.
3. Place in an oven dish, with all the liquid and seasonings. Roast for 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the sweet potatoes are soft.
4. Stir onions with the pan juices into the cottage cheese. Cut a deep slit into each sweet potato and fill with about 2 tbsp (30 ml) of the mixture. Garnish with fresh coriander.
5. Serve with grilled or roasted fish, chicken or pork and fill your plate with any green veggies, lightly cooked and seasoned with lemon juice and black pepper. A green salad will also be delicious.
2. Add fresh grated lemon rind to the cottage cheese for more flavour.
