VT Harvest of the Month Program!
St Michael’s school is participating in the Vermont Harvest Of The Month. Each month a different vegetable is featured. This month’s vegetable was sweet potatoes.
Four sixth grade students read fun facts, nutritional benefit, and history information about sweet potatoes to our students while the rest of the school sampled ‘Maple Brown Sugar Glazed Roasted Sweet Potatoes’
Some students opted not to try but out of the 69 students that did try it 37 LOVED IT, 15 KINDA LIKED IT, 17 DID NOT LIKE IT. Some liked it so much they had seconds!
Recipe:
Sweet potatoes
Oil
Maple syrup
Brown sugar
Peel and thinly slice the sweet potatoes, evenly cost with oil. Roast them in the oven on 375 degrees until partially cooked. Brush on maple syrup and sprinkle with brown sugar. Return to oven for approximately 10 minutes or until they are lightly glazed.
