Oh I love sweet potatoes! Eating at this very second haha. Great tips for new things to try 🙂
Lovely selections of sweet potato recipes. I feel I always do the same thing with sweet potatoes. – I must try the sweet potato casserole with streusel. That immediately piqued my interest.
That streusel topping just added some great texture to the potatoes.
The roast and hummus caught my eye immediately, but I am impressed to see so many treats ideas with sweet potato! I will have to try some of them! Great collection!
That hummus recipe is incredibly good, but definitely try the sweet potato muffins, they are so good.
Such a useful roundup post! I never know what to do with sweet potatoes normally and now I have so many options!
I love sweet potatoes and prefer them savory. I remember the first time I ever tasted them was at a Thanksgiving dinner shortly after my arrival in the USA. They were filled with marshmallows and candied nuts and they were just too sweet. Only later did I discover how delicious they can be when prepared without added sugar. My favorite way is roasting sliced sweet potatoes with salt, pepper, and a very generous sprinkling or fresh or dried marjoram.
Yes, for years that sweet potato recipe with the marshmallow was the go-to recipe for the holidays. I still love it but I have gone to the savory side now in my sweet potato recipes.
