Sweet potatoes are a delicious, healthy, and versatile veggie that can easily be enjoyed sweet or savory. And these sweet potato recipes are going to help you enjoy this nutritious root vegetable in so many different ways.

Do you have a bag of beautiful sweet potato in your fridge or pantry, but you are feeling a bit lost on how to put them to use? I hear ya! I love sweet potatoes, but I need to shake it up a bit in how I eat them so that I don’t get sweet potato burnout (its a thing, TNNers).

Health benefits of sweet potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a starchy root vegetable that is available in many places year round! Known for their dazzling orange color, these root tubers serves up some serious vitamins and minerals. Such as…

  • fiber. They have oodles of it. Especially when you eat the skin. 1 medium sweet potato has 6 grams of dietary fiber. (source)
  • potassium. A good alternative for those of you who can’t eat or don’t like bananas.
  • copper. This is an essential metal for making red blood cells and keeping your heart healthy.
  • vitamin C. One cup of baked sweet potato 52% of your daily requirements. Move over oranges! (source)
  • beta-carotene. Like carrots, sweet potatoes can be great for eye health.
  • Manganese. 43% of your daily value of manganese can be found in one cup of baked sweet potato. Manganese is important for brain health.
