Sweet potatos are delicious on their own, but there are tons of various things one can do with them. Similar to their straight-edged cousin—the potato—sweet potatoes are just as versatile when it comes to how well they complement other foods. Whether you’re looking to impress friends and family, or simply want to enjoy a tasty snack for yourself, here are some of the most popular sweet potato recipes around!
Sweet Potato Fries
Perfect as a side dish, with a roast, grilled vegetables, or burger, sweet potato fries are delicious to eat and easy to make. Just chop your sweet potato into thin chunks and cover them in olive oil. You don’t even need to take the skin off, but make sure you wash them first. Season with salt, pepper, rosemary, and thyme, and bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 350F.
Grilled Sweet Potato with Herb Sauce
Simply cut your sweet potato into chunks and drizzle in olive oil. Add salt, pepper, and rosemary, and place them under the grill for 20 minutes. The herbs and oil will seep elegantly into the potato, leaving you with a tasty, crispy treat. If you want to get fancy, serve in a creamy rosemary sauce.
Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Root Vegetables
A warming treat in the winter months, this dish will leave you feeling happy and comfortable. Chop up your sweet potato with a variety of root vegetables, such as carrots and turnips. Mix the vegetables together on a baking tray. If you prefer, you can also add some red onion and peppers for a little extra kick. Roast together in the oven for 20 minutes. Enjoy!
