If you're going for vegan, what about a really nice ratatouille?0

Sounds good for a day when I'm not looking for a quick, microwaveable dinner0 -
Covered and steamed in the microwave with half a lemon, then mashed with Thai sweet chili sauce.0

Many interesting responses; stuck(pun intended) on the peanut butter. Heard of peanut butter rolled sweet bologna, but sweet potato? Interesting.0

Oh if you eat healthy all day long a little butter, brown sugar and cinnamon on your sweet potato wont do anything to you but make you enjoy it! Mmm Yumm.0

Love you! Internet speak for "Love you!"0

My favourite thing to stuff on baked sweet potato:
Thaw some frozen spinach
Cook it in a saucepan with a teeny bit of oil and a LOT of garlic
A spoonful of Philadelphia Lightest
A couple of cubes of low fat feta crumbled
More garlic plz
Grate a little parmigiano on top as well if you fancy .
Sometimes I put some prawns in there too or some chicken chunks
It looks pretty gross but it's super tasty
EDIT: I forgot, poach an egg and pop that on top too. Keep the yolk just a little runny0 -
I can go on and on since I am former chef.. But few ideas:
Cut in wages, coconut(olive oil), cumin, cinnamon, sea salt, black pepper stick in the oven on 180oC for good 30 min; also you can add parsnips(roasting time the same) and pumpkin(small cubes or wages)
Serve with hummus
Cut in small, roast with olive oil and salt(as above) cool down mix with rocket leaves, olives and sprinkle some pecan(walnuts) and fresh herbs
Cup of quinoa(gluten free) 1 sweet potato peeled and cubed, up on the stove with some salt(may be some spices - cinnamon, cumin) let it simmer for 30 min. Turns out as mash..
Also simply peel, cut add some other tubers if available(parsnips; pumpkin; swede;) on the stove boil and mash adding coconut milk - divine - can add as a side to beans; nut roast etc..
And of course good old Sweet potato soup - as above just add some more coconut milk and blitz; sprinkle some roasted pumpkin seeds and I'd personally add some garlic and ginger at the beginning; top up with some coriander..
Jeezz - I can realy go on and on...0 -
Tonight I am having sweet potato with slow cooked BBQ jackfruit. Just chop up tinned jackfruit and an onion and slow cook in your favourite BBQ sauce. If you don't have time to slow cook just dry fry.0

I've heard almond butter is great, but I haven't tried it yet! (my favorite is Justin's Maple AB, I bet that would be unreal)
One of my all-time favorite foods is roasted sweet potatoes! My mom has been making them this way since I was a kid. I was surprised to find out how healthy her recipe is- they get so caramelized that you'd swear you added tons of sugar but there's none!
Cut sweet potatoes and 1-2 Vidalia or sweet onions into chunks (I like them big but smaller cooks faster). Put in foil-lined pan (for effortless cleanup), drizzle with olive oil and toss together. Depends how many potatoes, but I use 1 tbsp oil for a big pan. Roast at 400 degrees for about an hour until they get a little black and crispy on the edges and the onions are fairly transparent. Now...try not to eat the whole batch.0 -
I need some healthy, vegan toppings for sweet potatoes. Thoughts?
Absolutely nothing! I love them just the way they are!0 -
we usually just do them up with some garlic0
-
Usually only cinnamon or sriracha or just plain0
-
great ideas, bump!0
-
I usually just eat them plain but sometimes I make them a meal and add pulled pork and corn as you're rating vegan just drop the meat. Also use the smoky meat rubs on the skin of the potato when you bake them, the flavor soaks through and adds a little kick.0
-
cinnamon + chili powder + cumin.
There's a really good thread about what to put on sweet potato fries, might help. I'll see if I can't find it and get a link here.0 -
Spray olive oil in a pan, saute some kale, red onions, red sweet peppers and garlic. Dump it on your mashed sweet potato. I add greek yogurt, but that's not vegan so you could leave it off, or use a vegan alternative.0
-
People don't realise butter is not vegan? hmm.. Maybe they are talking about a fake butter.0
-
We spray them with olive oil and toss them in Cajun seasoning and bake the as fries.
Sometimes we combine them with roasted butternut squash, onions, thyme, and light coconut milk and blend as a soup.0 -
I put on Marvin Gaye's "Let's get it on" and then spread some buttery goodness on that potato. Then, to spice things up I throw some cinnamon at it. Gets it every time.0

I love them plain! Its surprising all the flavors they have we don't realize since we are used to loading things with butter.
On occasion I add a little Ghee to mine and or cinnamon.

All I put on mine is butter....
Or you could make sweet potato fries if you want to try something different. I made some yesterday.0 -
Nutmeg is good on sweet potatoes.0
-
1 tablespoon of butter (to cut calories, I halve portion sizes sometimes), cinnamon, and stevia (all natural, zero calorie sweetener, without the bad side effects of aspartame!).0
