A sweet potato not only contains fiber that may help you prevent cardiovascular disease, but it also boasts antioxidants called carotenoids.
Carotenoids can help eliminate the cell-damaging free radicals that can lead to cancer.
Now, that's something to be thankful for this holiday season. In a large bowl, mix sweet potatoes, onion, carrot and oil. Place the mixture on a cookie sheet and bake at 350 degrees for one hour or until the potatoes are tender. Combine the sweet potato mixture, sesame seeds, salt and pepper in a food processor and process until the dip is smooth. Serve chilled with raw vegetables, such as broccoli, cauliflower and celery sticks.
