Anyone have a way to jazz up sweet potatoes, in a gluten free & dairy free way?? *food allergies*

    Bake 'em and puree with some veggie or chicken broth for a soup. Add cumin, ginger, curry or whatever herbs and spices you like. Or cube it and add to a black bean chili. Or mash a baked tater and mix it with black beans and salsa, then wrap it in a GF tortilla.

    (I do this for normal potatoes too). I slice them up into circle shapes, pour 2 table spoons of oil over them, add a dash of salt, thyme and a sprinkle of chilli powder (mix) place them on the grill and let them cook for 50 mins at a medium - high temp. Throw in some steak or chicken and you're good. :smile:

    Slice it thin, 1/8", fry crisp in coconut oil, to make "chips". Make a remoulade of 1/4 cup mayo, tsp mustard, 1/2 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp tumeric, S&P to taste.

    Dip. Eat. Yum!

    I use canned yams, not sure how this would work with fresh, but it should.

    Ingredients
    1 can yams
    1 tsp vanilla extract
    1 tsp cinnamon
    1/2 c melted butter
    1 c miniature marshmallows

    Put yams into bowl, mash thoroughly (I've used wooden spoons or electronic mixing spoon) with juice from the can, vanilla and cinnamon. In a medium skillet over low heat melt butter. Add yam mixture, mix thoroughly. Top with marshmallows, allow to warm for 5 minutes, stir marshmallows into yams, heat 5 more minutes until marshmallows melted. Serve warm or cold.

    I like to peel them, chop into bite sized pieces, toss in homemade balsamic vinaigrette, and roast for thirty to fourty minutes.

    Also, chopped and boiled with rutabaga and carrots, then mashed.

    baked or microwaved until soft, then eaten with sugar-free maple syrup and grilled chicken (yes, chicken with the syrup!) So delicious.

    Poke holes in them and bake them in the crock pot on low for 6-7 hrs. They're so creamy! I've been eating sea salt and caramel on mine. I'm trying date syrup soon.

    My favorite way is pretty high calorie, but I only eat them this way on holidays. That is as a casserole with lots of butter and brown sugar and marshmallows. For a lower cal way I like to bake the potato and add a little butter and a little brown sugar. I also like them fried and dipped in barbeque sauce. I'm going to have to try some of the suggestions in this post.
