Sweet potatoes are a November Foods of the Month! These veggies have one of the highest amounts of beta-carotene, which is where they get their pretty orange color. Instead of regular french fries, have baked sweet potato fries! Not only are these “fries” truly tasty, they also have high amounts of vitamin A, an antioxidant that boosts our immune system. This easy recipe is sure to be a hit!
