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.
