Baking brings out the natural sweetness of sweet potato, a starchy root that India knows as shakarkandi and often serves as a roasted chaat with lemon and spices. It is almost fat-free, so nearly all of its calories come from carbohydrate. Keeping the skin on adds fiber, while butter, brown sugar or marshmallow toppings add calories quickly.
Typical portion: A medium baked sweet potato weighs about 115–150 g, which works out to roughly 105–135 kcal.
