When modifying a recipe to create a healthier version, there are subtle tweaks that can greatly enhance the nutritional value. Rather than relying on baked potatoes, a more flavorful approach involves roasting these sweet potatoes in the oven. By concentrating your natural sweetness, you require fewer sweeteners to achieve the desired level of sweetness. The use of almond flour yields a profoundly richer flavour profile, while the addition of rice flour serves to amplify and harmonize the overall taste experience.
