  1. Wash your sweet potatoes well, score a line across the top and place on a baking sheet lines with parchment and into the oven. Set oven to 350˚F (205˚C).

  3. Toast your breadcrumbs with olive oil and rosemary together in a saute pan. Once golden brown, remove from the head and toss with maple syrup and parmesan cheese.

Nutrition

Coping with a Salty Taste:

  • Common taste changes that people may experience during and after cancer treatment can include having a bad taste or food tasting too bitter, metallic, salty, sweet or bland.
  • If foods taste too salty, balance it by choosing products labelled as low sodium, reduced sodium, sodium free, no added salt.
  • Balance a salty taste by adding something sweet such as honey,  maple syrup, fruit, dried fruit (dates or raisins)
  • It's important to experiment. If you tried a food that didn't taste good, try it again in a month or s​​o to see if tastes better because tastes can continue to change. Be sure to choose foods that taste good to you
