Healthy, because
The sweet potato, which was considered exotic just a few years ago, has become an indispensable part of the vegetable department. It is not only incredibly versatile, but also contains some of the vital substances that are healthy for us. Potassium is responsible for a balanced fluid balance and can therefore have a positive effect on blood pressure. Various secondary plant substances protect the body cells from oxidative stress and thus inhibit inflammation.
Even smarter
Freshly chopped herbs spice up the delicious oven dish before serving. The gratin is accompanied by a crisp leaf salad with honey-mustard dressing, strips of pepper and slices of cucumber.
If there is anything left over, the gratin can be quickly warmed up in the oven. We recommend that you cover the dish during this time so that the cheese does not brown too much.
