I am a big fan of The Splendid Table on NPR. When this show comes on, I often shush the kids and strain to listen to it from beginning to end… which never really happens, because our house is full of talking and music and singing and banging and just general loud noises. But I was able to catch a small segment<\/a> in the car about coconut oil and its health benefits.<\/p>\n

When it came time to talk about ways to use coconut oil in cooking\/baking, this jumped out at me:<\/p>\n

One of my other favorite things to do is either take butternut squash or sweet potatoes and toss them with coconut oil, cinnamon and some sea salt and roast them in the oven. Coconut oil can take really high heat, so it can go up to 500 degrees Fahrenheit before becoming unstable. You can get some really nice high heat roasting on it.<\/em><\/p>\n

And suddenly, I knew exactly what to do with those sweet potatoes I had lying on the counter top! But because I only had two small sweet potatoes (but plenty of other colorful root vegetables), I modified my approach. It turned out delicious!<\/p>\n
