Sweet potato recipes!

Bump!

Sweet potatoes taste DELICIOUS when topped with some sauteed onions and cooked corn! Especially if the onions are sauteed with garlic. Try eating that with a salad. It's a low calorie and deliciously flavorful meal

Brown 1 lb pork sausage, fresh ground. Season with herbs and spices. Remove that from pan and add diced sweet potato (I dice up 2 - 3) and saute until tender.

Add pork to the potatoes. Make 5 - 6 wells in the mixture and crack an egg in each well, cover and cook until egg is at desired doneness.

I love this, as it makes for a whole family, or as meals for the upcoming week ahead. Keeps in frig and can nuke to reheat over the lunch hour.

Easy Low-Fat Baked Sweet Potato Fries. If you're craving a high-fat and salty treat like fast food French fries, try this recipe for healthier baked sweet potato fries. Baked sweet potato fries are much lower in fat than a deep-fried version and are very quick to prepare. Kids will love these baked fries as well.
Ingredients:

3 large sweet potatoes, cut into wedges
1 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp cumin
dash cayenne pepper
1/4 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt or seasoned salt

Preparation:
Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees.

In a large bowl, toss together all ingredients until potatoes are evenly coated with oil and spices. (I used a large zip-loc bag)

Place potatoes on a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for about 30 minutes, or until done.

I really like to eat these plain, but you could serve with ketchup, a ranch dressing dip or barbecue sauce. Enjoy your baked sweet potato fries!

I like to bake them, scoop out the insides, add a little butter or natural yoghurt, bacon, onions and top with a little cheese!

Or wedges with some jerk seasonings, very tasty!

Also boil them till they're soft and add them to an omelette!

Just got some today... looking for more ideas

The most delicious recipe I've had is also the simplest:

1. Cut medium sweet potato into 8 cubes
2. Place in boiling water and cook until soft (about 8-10 minutes)
3. Preheat oven to 400 deg. F
4. Lay potatoes onto baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over them.
5. Bake in oven for 15-20 minutes.

ENJOY!

Ok so it's got a lot of other stuff besides sweet potatoes, but it's delicious and it's totally in season right now.

Eeek! I was going to make this tonight. The calories aren't bad at all... works out to 238 per person. But, the sodium is OUTRAGEOUS... it is like 980mg per serving. And that is with my substituting "NoSalt" for the salt. I can't imagine if I added salt to it. Eegads. Has anyone found a good LOW SODIUM version of the kielbasa to make this with. I ran the recipe using the Butterball version.

I made the Apple Kielbasa Bake today & it rocked! My family loved it, too.

I stumbled on this while trying to find something yummy to do w/ quinoa...

•1 cup Quinoa, uncooked
•2 cups vegetable broth or water
•1 sweet potato, baked and diced
•1 red bell pepper, diced
•2 tbsp olive oil
•1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
•2 tbsp lemon juice
•salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

Simmer the Quinoa in the vegetable broth about 10 to 15 minutes, or until water is gone and Quinoa is light and fluffy when stirred. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Toss together the Quinoa, sweet potato and bell pepper in a large bowl.

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil and cayenne pepper. Gently toss this dressing with the Quinoa. Season with a generous amount of salt and pepper

Sounds awesome! Glad you shared this gem, just yesterday picked up some Quinoa so I think I'm set.

Sweet Potato Enchiladas
(5 Servings)

10 corn tortillas
2 large sweet potatoes, baked and mashed
Spices to taste: chili powder, garlic powder, cumin, taco sauce or seasoning, salt, cinnamon, etc.
28 oz can enchilada sauce (I use mild red, but green would be good, too). You will have sauce left over
2 oz shredded cheese, optional
Chopped onion, optional

Mash sweet potatoes with seasonings to taste. Mix in about ½ cup of enchilada sauce. Set aside.
Spray 10x13 pan with cooking spray. Dip tortilla in sauce, then fill with 1/10th of the mixture, roll and put in pan. Pour enchilada sauce over enchiladas (eyeball it-you don’t want it swimming, but tortillas will absorb the sauce).

Top with chopped onion. Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes. Uncover, add cheese, and bake another 10 minutes to brown cheese. They freeze well and taste better the next day.

For spices I used cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice and red peppers.

WOW, very unique I like that about it, looking forward to trying something similar.

I love sweet potatoes... plain old boiled or baked is good enough for me but I recently tried a Bobby Flay recipe that was a nice change of pace: Par-boil the sweeties, then slice and brush with cumin, cinnamon and spanish paprika mixed in canola oil. Grill 10 minutes, turning frequently to get nice grill marks. Very yummy!

we do something very similar. Microwave slightly, slice, spray with Pam, sprinkle with cinnamon etc and grill.

LOL, this was the wrong thread to read at night, hungry and out of calories. I am stoked to get new recipe ideas, though. My family always wants me to slice the sweet potatoes like fries, toss in a pan with olive oil, salt and black pepper, and bake them. Very good side dish, but I want to experiment.
