    I just like to bake mine. I rub them down with a little oil and sprinkle with some kosher salt and coarse black pepper...poke some holes in it, wrap in foil and bake @ 400* for about an hour. I like mine with just a little butter and green onions or chives.

    I like to roast mine with a little olive oil, salt and pepper. I also make sweet potato cakes by mixing mashed sweet potatoes with salt, pepper, an egg, and a few tablespoons of flour. Shape into patties, dredge in breadcrumbs and sautee em up in some olive oil :smile: Hope this helps.

    I actually did some last night. They take a little while to bake. I put two directly on my oven rack ( lined with foil) at 400 for about 45 min.

    Also pierce them with a fork in several spots- it helps sep from the skin

    I chop mine into cubes (don't even peel it) and toss it in the acti-fry with rosemary, garlic and a touch of salt/evoo. Pretty much as effortless I can make it and always turns out delish!

    I mash about 3 pounds worth and eat it throughout the week.
    The IDGAF Version: peeled sweet potatoes, 1 stick of butter, and honey (usually a few tbsp).

    The Cutting Version: peeled sweet potatoes, 2 tbsp butter, 1 tbsp honey.

    It never lasts long, but I'd say the longest was 5 days.

    I like them baked with a serving of cheese dip like for chips as a garnish, sounds weird I know but it's good and that cheese only has like 50-60 calories depending on brand and since it's creamy it eliminates me wanting butter and stuff like that on it.

    I like cubing them then tossing with olive oil, cinnamon, clove, and a little bit of cayanne, and of course salt and pepper. Then roast in the oven. Super tasty.

    You can use thin slices and and make a lasagne with it instead of pasta leaves. Or roast it in the oven. Sweet potato mash is good too.

    I chipped a large sweet potato the other day and had it with turkey burgers. Peel the potato, cut it up, toss in a baking tray with a little olive oil, salt and pepper then in the oven at 220c for 20-30 mins... beautiful. One large sweet potato with two medium sized homemade turkey burgers and some wilted spinach was around 450 cals.

    I made this today and it’s definitely a [shock, horror] obviously healthy food but anyways...

    mix 1/2 c cooked & mashed sweet potato with 1/4 c pb and 1 banana, 4 egg whites or 2 eggs, and a drop of vanilla. put it in mini-muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes at 375. they’re not overly sweet but, I like the flavor!

    For a sweet treat. I do one sweet potato warm and mashed. I add lite whip cream and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Great tasty treat. I also use sweet potato for a veggie burger.. I mash sweet potato and add my favorite spices , add corn, a little bread crumbs and shape into a patty then pan fry using olive oil.

    Can you see my recipes? I'm not sure how to make that visible. I just made curried sweet potatoes, and my husband who hates sweet potatoes even liked them. I think the recipe came from cooking light if that helps.

    Diced with onion, yellow squash, garlic and roasted in the oven. Left overs I use to make Curried Sweet Potato/squash soup. It makes the house smell devine!

    I bake mine on the top rack wrapped in foil, usually I don't add anything b/c they're yummy enough, but if needed I add a small amount of real butter about 1/2 tbsp. or I smash them and do the same with seasoning, or cubed and bake them with your favorite seasonings and olive oil, I like to make mine spicy so I add a litte crushed red pepper, paprika, and Cajun seasoning.

    This is one of my favorites. I used what I have on hand in replacement for some of the ingredients - so olive oil or butter or even cooking spray for ghee and regular salt instead of Himalayan. Anyways, yum.

    Peel (or not), cube into about 1" pieces, toss with a little grapeseed oil, splenda brown sugar, sprinkle blacj pepper. Bake in casserole dish or pie plate at 400 til tender (depends on how big chunks are)....about 25 min. Awesome!

    I like to make sweet potato chips and use in my nachos. I slice them thin with a mandolin, season and bake until crisp. You can find recipes on pinterest. I like shredded chicken, black beans, avacodo, Greek yogurt and salsa on my nachos.

    Yummy, all these sound amazing.

    I usually put mine in the actifry with some seasonings. I've done it like a twice baked potato but it seems to be just a little too much..

    Really good baked. I just sprinkle on a little cinnamon.
    I wrap it in foil also. Make sure you have something under the potato (I make a little aluminum foil tray. The sugar seeps out and can make a huge mess in the oven.
