Instructions: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Scrub the potatoes, pierce them with the tip of a sharp knife in several places, and place them in the oven. Bake until the potatoes are tender, about 50 minutes.

Slit the tops of the potatoes lengthwise with a knife. Press the ends to open the slits. Top each potato with 1 teaspoon margarine. Sprinkle each with lemon juice, zest, salt, and nutmeg. Serve immediately while hot.

This recipe yields 4 servings.

Serving size: 1 sweet potato.

Comments: Sweet potatoes are bursting with beta carotene and are one of the best food sources of this important nutrient. In general, the darker the skin of the potato, the sweeter its flesh. Lemon zest and a sprinkle of nutmeg add an intriguing taste.
