Sweet Potato Thyme & Ginger Ketchup

Sweet potatoes are so versatile. They seem to be taking over the health food world. Why you ask? Because they have more vitamins and fiber than white potatoes- Fiber, as you may know, is great for digestion. This recipe is quite simple and not too out of the norm for most people. Some of you may not have fresh ginger handy but that is alright- just use powdered/ground ginger instead. However, fresh is always best because the flavors are more potent and will boom your taste buds! When cutting your potatoes, you can cut them any style you like- thins, rounds, wedges, etc. Go with your mood! I hope you enjoy this mildly spicy-sweet heat recipe! Pair with a big leafy green salad- Try this one!
