ORANGE-SPICED SWEET POTATO CASSEROLE
This recipe uses less sugar and butter than a traditional sweet potato casserole. Nutrition Note: This recipe has been flavored with fresh orange and uses less sugar and margarine than a traditional sweet potato casserole.

The carbohydrates that are present break down more slowly causing glucose levels to rise more gradually. Baking sweet potatoes instead of cooking in water helps to bring out the natural sweet flavor.
