I'm new here and new to cycling but one thing I know is nutrition and cooking healthy foods.

I got rid of my microwave because it makes everything taste....blah...plus I notice my digestion is better with non-microwave foods and they say it zaps the nutrients from food. I don't miss having one.

The BEST way to cook sweet potatoes is in the oven. I usually get 2 large potatoes and 1 onion. It feeds 2 of us for the week.

1. Heat it up to 425
2. Rinse and scrub skins (do not peel)
3. Slice the sweet potatoes about a 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick.
4. Slice up an onion.
5. Mix together with olive oil in a casserole dish - I like the stone cookware.
6. Cook in the oven for about 35 min. Stir - add more olive oil if needed.
7. Cook an additional 10-25 mins.
8. Sprinkle with sea salt and fresh cracked pepper.

Yum! They are so full of flavor - nice and caramelized. I put the leftovers in the fridge and I usually eat it cold as a snack.

Adjust cooking times, potato thickness to your preference.
My crossfit friends buy sweet potato baby food by the case. They open the jar and drink it as a snack. I tried that once....but...blah.....
It's a lot cheaper and it tastes so much better to cook up a batch of roasted sweet potatoes for the week.

I will try it out as a snack for long rides. I’ve only had my bike for a week and I’ve only gone on 6, 16, 17, and 18 mile rides so far. But I have a 36 mile ride planned for the weekend. I will try it for a snack on my rides - thanks for the tip!
