Newspaper Page TextWEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 2017 ❚ SIUSLAW NEWS 999 ܂ PUBLIC NOTICES California Sweet Potatoes Are Great For More Than Thanksgiving— Enjoy Them Every Day (NAPSA)—While for many, it’s not the holidays without sweet potatoes, California sweet potatoes can (and should) be enjoyed throughout the year. Thanks to great growing con- ditions—rich sandy soil, abundant sunshine and warm, dry climate— California sweet potatoes are widely available and ready to add both ﬂ avor and superfood nutrition to all your fa- vorite recipes. One medium (4-oz. cooked) Cali- fornia sweet potato has only 105 calo- ries and 0g fat or cholesterol, yet this tasty tuber contains more than 80 nu- trients including: • 2 grams of protein • vitamin C (a good source) • vitamin A (more than an entire day’s requirement) • calcium. Perhaps even better, California sweet potatoes are delicious in sweet AND savory dishes. Toss them into your favorite soups, stews and casse- roles or feature them on a pizza or in a pasta. You can even include mashed sweet potatoes in cupcake, wafﬂ e or pancake batter, adding ﬂ avor, nutri- tion and a tender texture. Here are some more great ways to enjoy California sweet potatoes in your year-round repertoire: • For a simple sheet pan supper, toss diced sweet potatoes, halved Brussels sprouts, and diced red onion with olive oil, chopped fresh rosemary, salt and pepper and arrange on a sheet pan. Top with seasoned chicken thighs and roast until cooked through. Serve with a simple salad. • Try a sweet potato pizza or tart. Top store-bought pizza dough or puff pastry with fontina, roasted California sweet potatoes, caramelized onions and a sprinkle of salt. Bake until gold- en brown and bubbly, then top with a California Sweet Potato Toast Bites with Figs, Blue Cheese, Flaked Salt and Honey Makes 12 12 crosswise slices California sweet potato (about 1/4-inch thick) 2 ounces good-quality blue cheese (about 1/4 cup packed) 3 dried ﬁ gs, stemmed and quar- tered 12 small rosemary sprigs About 1 teaspoon ﬂ aked sea salt About 1/2 teaspoon pepper About 1 tablespoon honey Treat your family and friends to savory, tasty Sweet Potato Toast Bites. handful of arugula. • How about pasta? While cook- ing store-bought tortellini according to package directions, sauté cubed California sweet potatoes with butter, olive oil and fresh sage leaves. Drain tortellini, reserving some of the cook- ing water. Add tortellini to the sweet potatoes and gently toss, add pasta water to loosen and ﬁ nish with a knob of butter. Serve with fresh grated Par- mesan. • For an after-school snack, cut California sweet potatoes into ?-inch slices, pop them in the toaster or mi- crowave until tender, then brush with melted butter and sprinkle with cin- namon and sugar. Or top with avoca- do and chopped fresh tomatoes. For a truly tempting treat, try California Sweet Potato Toast Bites. Here, they’re topped with ﬁ gs, blue cheese, ﬂ aked salt and honey—mak- ing them excellent for a snack, appe- tizer or elegant dessert. Cook the sweet potato slices in your toaster oven as you would small slices of bread, using the most well-done setting, until ten- der (you might have to do this in batches, and each batch might have to cook two times). Set aside to cool to room temperature. Top each sweet potato slice with 1 teaspoon of blue cheese, 1 ﬁ g quarter and a rosemary sprig, arranging them on plates or a platter. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then drizzle with the honey and serve. Note: If you don’t have a toaster oven, use three or four lengthwise slices of sweet potato and cook them in your toaster using the most well- done setting (you might have to do this two times). Then cut each toasted slice into three or four pieces to make 12 smaller toasts.
