AIP Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Leeks Recipe
"Sweet, savory and so good for you, this AIP roasted sweet potato and leeks recipe is definitely one to try. Health Benefits of Leeks Like onions, leeks have a variety of vitamins and nutrients that are essential to good health. Leeks are a great source of vitamin K, which is essential to blood clotting and good bone health. They are also a good source of manganese, copper, vitamin B6, iron, folate and vitamin C. Leeks also contain the lesser-known flavonoid kaempferol, which protects blood vessels. While there hasn’t been a lot of research done on leeks, they likely share a lot of the health benefits of other allium vegetables such as onion and garlic."
