Sunny-Side-Up Hawaiian Purple Sweet Potato
These purple sweet potatoes are Robbie Sigona’s favorite sweet potato in the market! They’re flavorful, low in sugar (so they’re low on the glycemic index) and gorgeous.
Baked, drizzled with olive oil, seasoned with salt and pepper and then topped with an egg, this is a simple, filling, healthy and delicious way to enjoy Hawaiian purple sweet potatoes. Add some feta for a little extra flavor and protein, if you wish.
