I love sweet taters, but hardly ever eat them except as a treat, usually as fries. I substituted butternut squash for them in my regular meals, and actually found it to be a yummy trade.0

I love plain, baked sweet potatoes. They don't really need jazzing up. If you keep on trying them plain, hot or cold, you might come to find that you enjoy them that way. And, it will be less of a calorie hit than jazzed-up-sweet potatoes.0

I love sweet potato oven fries. Slice into thickness you like. Drizzle with coconut oil. Sprinkle with seasoning of choice (I use anything from Mrs Dash to fresh rosemary to plain sea salt--whatever I'm in the mood for). Bake at 350 degrees for 20-30 minutes. I also love baked sweet potato, split open after baking, drizzle with coconut oil and sprinkle with sea salt. Both ways are very nummy!1

In the interest of this thread, i tried a baked sweet potato with peanut butter and apricot jam. It was good, but nothing to write home about. Maybe a nut butter with a more delicate flavor would work better.0

I make a hash by grating the sweet potato. Adding some red bell pepper, red onion, and seasoning (usually cumin, garlic powder, and pepper). Then top with a poached egg.0

roast with EVOO and a little salt, or boil-mash-and mix in a little bit of brown sugar and cinnamon0

I cut them in French fry shapes and toss them in olive oil, basil and salt and roast them in the oven at 425 degrees. I sometimes make a garlic aioli to dip them in by mixing a bit of lemon juice and chopped garlic into some mayo. (not calorie-wise but soo good and a little is often enough)0

I misread this - for a moment I was picturing stuffed peppers filled with mashed sweet potatoes, chicken, and cheese. Bet that wouldn't be half bad. Who wants to try it for us?

But I would serve them with a dairy based dip mixed with sriracha. You can skip this step.0 -

I cook them all sorts of ways, but one of my favorites is from the P90X meal guide:
Slice a sweet potato and pile the slices on a boneless pork chop. Top that with some apple slices and sprinkle with cinnamon (and I dab some butter on it). Wrap it all in tin foil and bake. It's a simple and delicious meal with minimal clean up.1 -
They are also really good diced with kale and shrimp, a little bit of garlic & onion, and then cooked in coconut oil.1
