Healthy Sweet Potato Crust Quiche
I made this meal today with fresh ingredients we picked from the markets. It is so delicious and contains less carbs satisfying. I enjoy making this dish as it is easy and simple. The flavours are natural and is 100% gluten free. Do you know there is only 17 grams of carbohydrates in 100 grams of orange sweet potatoes making it number one choice for those who are looking to make a low carb meal.
I used sweet potato as a base for those watching their waistlines. Peel the potatoes thinly and then lay them on the bottom and around the dish as shown in the picture above. You then mix all other ingredient together on the pot. You do not need to pre-cook the sweet potatoes as they cook pretty much easily as you bake.
You can add tomatoes, sun-dried, mushrooms, capsicum (bell peppers). Substitute the cheese to put on top with Nutritional Yeast it is just as delicious. There are so many reasons to love sweet potatoes they are a super food, versatile and they are inexpensive too.
