I love sweet potatoes!!

peggy_polenta

i like them just baked with butter. but another great way...baked them till just under baked. slice them very thick horizontally. put them on a foiled baking sheet and sort of score the the flesh. then sprinkle a very small amount of brown sugar and drizzle real maple syrup and put back in the oven to finish baking or broil.

I eat them baked and topped with cottage cheese and green onions for dinner. I also like them roasted with olive oil, sea salt, and rosemary.

Sweet potato & red lentil curry. I add chicken too but optional. So filling you don't need rice

Love sweet potatoes in curry. Great contrast of flavors and the sweetness really cuts through the spices.

Also use them in stir fry to bulk them up, especially if I am going all veggies. The sweet potatoes contrast great with the saltiness and the heat from the Sriracha or chili paste I use in it.

Finally, I love to add them to a veggie hash with eggs instead of using all conventional potatoes.

My fiance and I have been cutting them in fry shape and then baking them in the oven with olive oil (20 mins). Once baked we add "nacho" ingredients on top and then broil them(7 minutes) and call them sweet potato nachos.
Our toppings are usually fire roasted corn, jalapenos, and a Mexican crema but you could really get creative!
So easy and so tasty.

I'm trying to incorporate more sweet potato recipes into my family's life style. Any good recipes that the whole fam can enjoy that won't kill my healthy eating?

Cubed and roasted with brussels sprouts and pecans, drizzle with sugar free syrup and cinnamon. H*ckin' awesome.

Baked whole in the oven to caramelize the natural sugars and then topped with almond butter, sugar free maple syrup or stevia , cinnamon and salt. Soooo good

i love them baked, mashed roasted. we often roast them with peppers and red onion. You can make sweet potato toast by slicing them into bread sized slices, under the grill then top with whatever. i use sweet potato mash on top of shepherd and cottage pie. I put small diced amounts in curries to add bulk along with lentils. Sweet potato and quiona cakes are awesome

I was looking for a new dish to try this weekend and was going to give this a whirl, although I settled on something different ...

what appealed to me was that the core of the dish was sweet potato I can just eat kilos and kilos of roasted sweet potato and roasted pumpkin all day long.

A baked sweet potato with a bit of maple syrup is all that you need to make a meal that much better.

Maple sounds good. I usually use a little cinnamon sugar. I love sweet potatoes also, but baked is really the only way I have them that is very healthy, even though sometimes I add natural sugar from cane that grows in the tropics.

Not so healthy, I like the candied yams (really sweet potatoes in the US) with pecans and a very thin layer of mini marshmallows baked on top. Sweet potato pie with whipped cream is really good.

I am not a big fan of adding them in savory recipes; not everything needs to be varied every time you eat it. Baked as a side is how I have them probably 90% of the time, usually plain.

I like to top my zucchini noodles with tomatoes sauce blended with sweet potatoes to make it sweet.

Chicken, Black Bean, and Sweet Potato Stew


Cook and shred 400g of chicken breast
Peel and dice 500-600g of sweet potatoes
Roughly chop 120g of red onion
Cook (or drain and rinse a can) 120g black beans
Open a can of fire roasted diced tomatoes

Pour 4 cups of chicken broth or stock into a dutch oven, add in all of the previous ingredients, sprinkle a teaspoon of smoked paprika, crack some pepper and sea salt to taste, and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until the sweet potatoes are tender (15-25 mins depending on how big or small you diced them). Use a potato masher or a stick blender to blast the stew a couple of times to thicken it up, and serve hot.
