Move over pumpkin, there’s a new ingredient in the spotlight today. I’m talking about delicious, super versatile sweet potatoes, of course!
In a season of all things butternut squash, apples, and pumpkin, I feel like people often forget about the magic of sweet potatoes. I’m here to remind you that not only are they amazing and easy to cook with, but I also have 35 recipes you should try ASAP.
These healthy sweet potato recipes are ones you can make for truly any meal of the day. I included both sweet and savory breakfast recipes, plenty of hearty main meals, a handful of wonderful snacks and side dishes, and even an epic dessert. Time to stock your pantry with this beautiful produce and get cooking!
Fall in love with sweet potatoes
I’ve been a sweet potato lover for as long as I can remember. They have a lovely natural sweetness and are the perfect ingredient for bulking up meals. Plus, they’re:
- Packed with vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber (to keep you full!) and antioxidants
- Super versatile and can be used in place of potatoes, squash, and even pumpkin in many different recipes
- Affordable! You can usually get a pound of sweet potatoes for under $1

I’m proud to say I’ve tried 5 of these recipes but I need to try more. I am drawn to your Southwestern inspired sweet potato recipes but some simple fries are calling to me. 🙂 Thanks for the recipe round-up!
That makes me so happy! Glad you’ve been enjoying the round ups 🙂 plenty more to come!
Sweet potatoes are my favorite food in the WORLD. If I could only eat one food, it would definitely be the sweet potato. Japanese sweet potato, to be exact! LOL! Anyways, I love all of these recipes. The zoodle bowls, chickpea soup, wild rice burgers, breakfast stuffed sweet potatoes, pecan oat streusel, sweet potato Buddha bowl, and baked fries look absolutely to die for!
This round up is PERFECT for you! 🙂
