Sometimes it is difficult to get all your carbs in when you pack your lunch or have a late dinner. Mike has an especially difficult time because he is trying to eat nearly 400g of carbs per day. His aunt Sarah gave us this idea to make sweet potatoes in advance to eat alone as a quick carb. Sweet potatoes are low-glycemic and extremely healthy. Heat your oven to 350. Individually wrap each sweet potato in tin foil, then place in a baking dish (the potatoes will emit a syrup-like liquid, so make sure you cook in a baking dish). Cook 1.5 to 2 hours, flipping potatoes over halfway through cooking.
When you take them out of the oven, carefully open tin foil and place potatoes on a wire rack to cool. After 10 - 15 minutes, remove the skin (it will come off extremely easily) and cut in half. Store in a ziplock or Tupperware for up to a week.
