Unfortunately, sweet potatoes are not a low carb food we can enjoy. I’m not saying that they aren’t great, cause I have always loved a good sweet potato, and especially some sweet potato fries, but they are just too high in carbs. To give you an exact number: 1 cup of sweet potatoes has 27g of carbs, 4g fiber, and 6g sugar.
Even though butternut squash isn’t the lowest in carbs either, it’s still lower than sweet potatoes. I want to share a comparison with you to show you the difference: 1 serving of a Traditional Sweet Potato Casserole can have as low as 25 NET CARBS but can have much more than that. 1 serving of our Keto Sweet Potato Casserole has 5.1 NET CARBS.
