    Grilled! Cut them into big steak fries, toss in olive oil with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg. Then place on a low heat grill, turning periodically until they are tender. Can also do the same thing but on a baking sheet in the oven.
    Absolute heaven... if you ask me!

    Baked with salt and pepper, mashed with a little yogurt mixed in, cut up and tossed with a little olive oil and baked for sweet potato fries, cut up and mixed with other root vegetables (carrots, onions, beets, parsnips) and tossed with a little olive oil and roasted.

    I know it's wierd...but I LOVE barbeque sauce on my baked sweet potatoes. Not often because of sugar content, but so good!

    Mmm... I make sweet potato fries (olive oil, salt, and a teeny bit of cinnamon) and dip them in bbq sauce too.

    Toss with olive oil, s&p, and roast on a sheet pan. They're sweet on their own so they don't need much.

    I ate one the other day, it was baked and I had leftover BBQ sauce which I mashed it up with. I wouldn't eat it like that again, but at least I didn't leave anything on my plate. XD

    Sweet Potato is a thing I eat very frequently. I add it in soups. I boil some cubes, and then mash it with a little bit of cinnamon and almond milk for mashed sweet potatoes. I steam them, or add them to stir-frys. I'll bake one, then hollow it out, add in some steamed veggies, and stir it all together then back again(like a double baked potato without all the calories). I roast them with Brocolli, squash and Cauliflower for a meal(or small portion for a side dish) You can get pretty creative with those sweet potatoes!

    Crockpot African Peanut Soup

    1 onion, chopped
    1 green pepper, chopped
    1 - 28 ounce can of diced tomatoes
    6 chicken thighs with skin removed
    1 large sweet potato, peeled and diced
    3 cups water
    1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky - whichever you like)

    All all ingredients except peanut butter to crockpot and cook on high for 1 hour and turn down heat to low for 2-3 hours. (optional - take out chicken thighs, remove bones and shred chicken to return to crock pot). Add peanut butter. Cook on low for 1 hour. 8 servings, 350 calories per serving, 17 carbs, 22 sugar (but sadly 531 mg sodium)

    yum

    I love sweet potato homefries, in a little onion with garlic and chili powder, so good. once in a while I will slice my sweet potatoes with a little bacon and sprinkled with cinnamon in a 350/375 oven for half an hour or so...yummy but that's a treat one.

    You can mix a little bit of olive oil with some seasoning and toss cut up pieces of sweet potato and then lay them on a baking sheet, and bake them for 45 minutes.

    Baked with garlic and feta, everyone has heard of doing them sweet, but savory is AWESOME!

    This idea just made me do jump kicks. Interesting combo.

    I'm going to try a recipe this week that uses steamed potatoes, 1 chipotle pepper, and salt. I've never had sweet potatoes in any form so we'll see how this tastes. The recipe shows it only has 152 calories per serving.

    I make a sweet potato casserole at Thanksgiving that has chipotle in it, it also has a bit of bacon in it (I use turkey bacon), it's a really tasty combination. That's the only time of year that I make it. I really hate the casseroles that have all the sugar and marshmallows. I eat them plain the rest of the year. They're tasty enough on their own that they don't really need anything besides a bit of salt. Occasionally I have them oven-fried and sprinkled with some cinnamon or cayenne, depending on my mood.
