Favourite ways to eat Sweet potatos?!

DaphneSW

I love throwing them into the oven and eating it that way.. then the natural sugars caramelise and it's amazing.
But open to new ideas

I actually just ate one. I could eat one a day- they are so tasty! Once cooked, I slice it up, throw a little peanut butter on it and cinnamon. When I need sweet fix I will also drizzle just a little honey on it, and it is wonderful. I've also made a recipe similar to this one and it is awesome http://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1013488-coconut-oil-roasted-sweet-potatoes

As above, I like mine with peanut butter.

I love my sweet potatoes with butter, cinnamon, and sugar. But I also had a pre-diabetes and high bmi problem
So, now, I bake them, use spray margarine, cinnamon, and Splenda...they're great! I have heard a lot of people that put cottage cheese on top, I haven't tried that one yet. I'm still getting used to cottage cheese.

I just posted yesterday a sweet potato smoothie, cause it was totally delicious: in blender, 1 banana, 1 potato, cinnamon-I used a lot-skim milk although the recipe called for almondmilk, so you can vary.
I boiled for bout 20 minutes a few potatoes and keep the rest in the fritz. Also you can put the banana in the freezer and your smoothie will be icecold. You dont need to sweeten cause it is sweet by nature. Im hooked and addicted!

I usually just bake them like I do a regular baked potato...I don't eat them all too often though and eat a lot more red potatoes than anything.

Baked with cinnamon only

I throw them in the over also, however I add some sweet yellow onion and butter to the mix. A little S & P also.

sweet potato chili.. its better than it sounds. "He and She eat clean" recipe

With almond or cashew butter on top.

Or chocolate almond butter.

But also with just plain regular butter.

Incidentally, today is National Cook a Sweet Potato Day
I personally despise them. I wish I liked them. So, so healthy. But no. Not happening. Enjoy your sweet potatoes for me!

candied with marshmallows. But they're also amazing in tacos! Look up "Sweet Potato Street Tacos" by fitgirlsguide. I thought it would be gross but I loved them.

DaphneSW

YUM!! So many great ideas, I love it!

Top with blue cheese if you like. It sounds weird together but it's sweet & savory all together.

I cook them in the oven like a baked potato and put a little bit of brown sugar on it.

callsitlikeiseeit

i like mine baked with butter and brown sugar, was actually going to have one with dinner but dont have any brown sugar:(

Baked then put some cooked ground beef, bell peppers and onions, a little hot sauce or hot peppers and either some plain yogurt or a fried runny yolk egg on the top.

I nuke them and eat them as a main dish with a green side salad. Or I roast them in the oven along with other things like eggplant and Brussels sprouts and then serve them with balsamic vinegar on top.

baxgilter

peeled, steamed, mashed with butter or bacon fat
peeled and pan fried like homefries

I like mine cubed and roasted with a little coconut oil, sea salt, and cracked pepper. My boyfriend made hash browns out of them with onions-- so good. I can't stand any kind of sweet topping.. things are sweet enough as is. Also if you have a chance, try Japanese sweet potatoes (the purple ones with white flesh). Those steamed in a rice cooker with a little soy sauce are amazing.

I am actually trying this recipe tonight, http://www.buzzfeed.com/jodyduits/this-very-healthy-breakfast-will-make-you-feel-refreshed-and. It is a sweet potato and black bean hash.

I have never understood why people put sugar and marshmallows on sweet potatoes. They´re already sweet. Adding more sweet stuff on them sounds disgusting.

I usually cut them like fries, and bake them in the oven with a tiny bit of oil, and lots of spices, like pepper, salt, chili, garlic and so on.

I just had one for dinner. I usually just bake and sprinkle with cinnamon, but I added butter today, b/c I could.

I'm the same actually ahah, I've always been happy to have them as they are!

I slice mine pretty thin and bake them in the oven for 20 minutes, 10 minutes on each side, then top it with nacho toppings! Peppers, tomatoes, olives, cheese. Serve it with salsa and plain Greek yogurt instead of sour cream. It's a great substitute for tortilla chips, but they don't get that crispy texture.

mslavery

peel, cut into small wedges, olive oil, smoked paprika, thats it.

This week we are having sweet potato tacos for dinner. Lots of garlic and cumin and chili powder. Yum!

marm1962

I love them fried in unrefined coconut oil or baked and topped with sour cream

caseylizbeth

I cut them up into fries and bake them in the oven, and then drizzle them with a sauce made out of light mayo, brown mustard, kethcup, and horseradish. Or I cube them and bake them with raisins, apple, and cinnamon.
