Fresh Rec Stop Recipe: Sweet Potato Crumble

By Garrett Simpson, NASM-CNC, Community Health Leader

With their filling nature and versatility, sweet potatoes are a delicious, health-boosting addition to any diet.

  • Sweet potatoes are rich in nutrients like vitamin A, potassium, and fiber, supporting eye health, digestion, and heart health.
  • Their low glycemic index and complex carbohydrates help regulate blood sugar and provide sustained energy.
  • Antioxidants, including beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, strengthen the immune system, improve skin, and protect against inflammation.

This casserole is a great way to get all the nutrients from the sweet potato in a delicious side dish so try this with your family this holiday!
