Sweet Potato Recipes

Try these light and low-fat personal pies for dessert during the fall. They're a great substitute for pumpkin pie or sweet potato casserole.

This vegetarian chili uses some secret tricks to boost the flavor without adding calories!

This recipe came about because I had just made vegetable enchiladas and had leftovers, plus quinoa from earlier in the week. Thankfully, this experiment yielded a hearty, delicious meal.

Sweet potatoes and bananas combine to make a flavorful low fat custard.

A healthy alternative to an American favorite.

An interesting but tasty dessert, perfect for a cool evening.

Not your basic yams.

Sweet and creamy, both sweet potatos and beans are good sources of dietary fiber!

This is a tasty side that can be added to any main course.

I use this recipe when I'm craving something sweet. It answers that craving for the sweet and I don't feel quilty afterwards. To make sweet potato chips more healthful, instead of deep frying them, I toss them with oil and bake in the oven.

This is one of my favorite soups! Slightly sweet with a kick! The chipotle en adobo peppers can be found at a regular grocery store where the authentic mexican ingredients are. They are in a can and only one pepper is plenty for this whole pot of soup.

A great vegetarian twist on Split Pea Soup.

Gluten Free variety of gnocchi

This delicious blend of maple syrup, sugar and cinnamon add a warm, homey taste to plain mashed sweet potatoes!

Here's my recipe for primal chips or fries (depending on how you slice them.) This is based off of a recipe from 150 Things to Make with Roast Chicken by Tony Rosenfeld.

If you're not "Primal to the core" you could add 1 teaspoon brown sugar to this mix.

Recipe from the above link, modified to exclude cilantro, subbed in lemon juice for lime.

These are so good - you eat the skin and all - they are crunchy, chewy, and very satifying. I have modified the recipe for cooking just 1 sweet potato, which is supposed to be 1 serving, but it actually serves 2 pretty nicely so nutritional info is based on 2 servings.

I found this one on allrecipes.com and it's yummy!

Vegetable chili, so easy and so yummy!!
This recipe was taken from and adapted a teeny bit from The Clueless Vegetarian.
YOU CAN DEFINITELY LOWER THE SODIUM IF YOU GET LOW SODIUM BLACK BEANS!!!

All spices should be adjusted to taste. We like our curry hot.

A great tasting and healthy alternative to fries.

Easy and superb!

Holiday Pumpkin Pie without the Pumpkin
Makes its own Crust

Heres a little recipe I worked out, and Sweet Potatoes are full of vitamin A! These sweet potato or yam muffins have less than 100 calories each and less than a half a gram of fat each! They come out to just under 1 gram of sugar each, but i use no sugar in them so these are naturally occuring. By the way no these are not "mini-muffins"! Feel free to use regular muffins tins like I did... They are a great harmless snack or breakfast addition. To get your vitamin A be sure to pair it with a healthy dietary fat (we need fat to absorb the A) - breakfast with 1 ounce of reduced fat cheese and a piece of fruit is great! So low cal you can mix and match often- and made with whole wheat flour- so you are getting your healthy whole grains and their awesome antioxidants! Enjoy!
*Don't be scared of the prep time- its just for boiling sweet potatoes. I forgot to add the temperature before but I included it now: 425 F. (its in the recipe text now too) Let them cool completely! Even chilled in the fridge helps them to "set".

I thought I'd try a twist on the traditional latkes this year!

A quick and delicious combination of kale, sweet potatoes, onions, garlic, and spices.
