How do you eat sweet potatoes?

I chop them up and put them in soups with other veggies. They taste awesome with veggie broth
I've chopped them up and baked them in my oven, also mashed and ate them. Never thought to chop them up and add them to my soups. Gotta try that.0 -
I saw a recipe for baked potato with tuna, cottage cheese, cherry tomatoes and a bit of chilli - bet this would be delicious with a baked sweet potato instead0

With a fork But seriously I have had them many way's baked with in the oven then opened and fluffed with some butter (sometimes topped with cheese and tuna), chopped up in soups (sweet potato, carrots and fennel is yummy) or stews, roasted with other veggies and some garlic, sliced very thin and crisped up with a little salt or sprinkled with some cinnamon. Such a versatile vegetable really can easily be made sweet or savory.0

I don't. They aren't as tasty as they sound!
I'd say mashed would be best.0 -
Boil them till almost done, then grill with pieces of chicken breat on skewers. Yum.0

I was just wondering this myself last night because I had leftover sweet potatoes!
I'm trying them baked with some cajun spice on top with a ham and chorizo side salad. Hope it's good!0 -
I live in Cambodia and they use sweet potatoes in curries. really tasty. You can probably find a recipe if you Google "Khmer Style Curry".0

Sliced with skin on (scrub first). Drizzle with a tad of EVOO, sprinkle with kosher salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Roast until they are cooked through and carmelized a bit. Delicious!
Well, sounds awesome except for the salt. That makes the sweet potato sweat, which keeps it from getting crispy.
Put the salt on at the end!0 -
Just remembered another recipe. This freezes well, just portion out the rice and lentil mix. It has an interesting flavor, really good.

@pcastagner The skin crisps due to the olive oil and the meat cooks up tender. I like to roast them so they look really browned, almost burnt. But you are correct, salt will draw out moisture.0 -
I just microwave and scoop them out and eat them plain. They are creamy enough not to need butter, and skip the sugar...you don't need it. They are perfectly sweet all alone.
I agree! best way to eat them in my opinion0 -
I bake them with olive oil, rosemary, sea salt, pepper and chopped white onions....very tasty. No need for sugar as they are already sweet enough on their own.0

maillard reaction will be greatly reduced if you salt before baking!
Oil yes, salt no!
Also, don't use wet potatoes! they gots to be dry!0 -
baked then topped with 1 teaspoon smart balance, salt and cayenne.
less than 150 cals if I remember correctly. I dont eat baked stuff in summer so it's been awhile.0
