    I bake them in the oven on Sundays and eat them throughout the week. I put them in the oven at 375 for about 45 minutes. I puncture them a bit with a fork, add a little water to the bottom of the pan, then cover with foil. Then I just wrap them in foil and keep them in the fridge until I'm ready to eat them. I usually eat one as a side to a meal, and I add a little butter or coconut oil and light brown sugar. It's delicious!

    Bake them and top with pulled pork or chili, maybe even a little cheddar and or plain greek yogurt.

    If I end up with extras often times I'll bake up a batch of sweet potato fries, I just coat with olive oil and bake, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar then freeze after they completely cool.
    You can also bake, remove from skins and freeze, they thaw pretty well for use down the road.

    Cut into rounds or julienne into fry-shapes; coat with a little olive oil, salt, cayenne and cajun seasoning; bake at 425 for 15 minutes, flip, 15 minutes, flip, until crispy and fry-like. Spicy sweet potato fries are sooooo good.

    The sweet potato chilli is amazing, I didn't know what to think while I was cooking it but I had a lot of sweet potatoes to use up. Liked it a lot, as did my dad.

    For YEARS I thought I didn't like sweet potatoes after an unpleasant experience with them as a child. I just tried a few sweet potato fries when I was out with some friends over the weekend and realized that I actually DO like them. My recent good experience, combined with all of the GREAT ideas in this thread have just inspired me to add sweet potatoes to my shopping list! :)

    Peel sweet potato's, but into fries, place in zip lock bag w/a little olive oil. Shake them up. Open back, sprinkle paprika & cinnamon on them, zip the back up again and shake again. Spread onto pan, bake at 400 for about 15 minutes, flip them, cook again until done to your taste. Sprinkle w/cinnamon sugar if you must, but they don't need it.

    After seeing some of these delicious ideas for sweet potatoes, I decided to take the pantry challenge and here's my contribution.
    Southwestern Sweet Potato Soup
    6 C water
    1 TBS Chicken Better Than Bouillon
    1 can Green Giant Steamed Fresh Southwestern Corn
    1 can Bush's Chili Beans w/mild chili sauce
    3 small sweet potatoes (cut into large cubes)
    2 C kale, chopped
    1 TSP onion powder
    1 TSP Morton's Nature Seasoning Blend
    1 TBS dried cilantro
    Add all ingredients to pot and simmer until potatoes are cooked. Cover and let sit on stove for an hour to blend flavors.

    If you want to get a little fancy you can make sweet potato brulee. It's really just mashed sweets with a little brown sugar & butter on the top and then popped under the broiler.

    I need this omg yum

    Cut them into 1/4 inch thick medallions and bake at 425 for 40 minutes turning half way (watch them closely so they don't burn) then make any meat you like using taco seasoning, add nacho toppings and you have delicious guilt free nachos.

    Cut into wedges, roll in one teaspoon of oil and cover in tons of fajita seasoning.

    Bake on 220 for 20 mins
    Throw on 20g grated cheese (low fat) Pop back in over for 4 mins.

    Am eating thus with home made sour cream as I type.... I love spicy sweet potato right now, this thread reminded me I had a spare in cupboard.
