Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 1 can (400g) chickpeas, drained and rinsed

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon harissa paste (adjust to taste)

]]> Sweet potatoes, with their rich flavors, are a versatile ingredient that can be transformed into dozens of sweet and salty dishes. They work great as a side or as a base for your meal. Here are a few ideas to check out. 

Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Roasted sweet potatoes are a quintessential comfort food. Cut the sweet potatoes into chunks or wedges and toss in a mixture of olive oil, salt, and perhaps a sprinkle of cinnamon or paprika. The salty crust formed from the roasting process complements the inner sweetness of the potato, creating a mouthwatering contrast. 

Sweet Potato Salad

This is a fun twist on traditional potato salad. Cube and mix the potatoes with ingredients like onions, celery, or peppers to add crunch and flavor. Add a dressing from olive oil, vinegar, mustard, or lemon juice, along with herbs and spices for a bright twist.

Sweet Potato Black Bean Enchilada

In this dish, the sweetness of potatoes pairs beautifully with the earthiness of the beans and the salty, spicy enchilada sauce poured over the top. Once rolled up and baked, the enchiladas become a melting pot of flavors. The creamy sweetness of the potatoes perfectly cuts through the spicy and salty sauce and filling.

This orange-tinged starch isn’t just a delight for the taste buds—it’s also super healthy, and there are many different ways to eat it. If you’re trying to shake things up a bit, here are three different ways to enjoy sweet potato.

Roasted Sweet Potato

Arguably the best way to enjoy sweet potato is to just keep things as simple as possible. Toss some spices on the sweet potato, put it in the oven, and roast it until the insides are moist and delicious. It really doesn’t get any more classic than this.

Sweet Potato Pie

If you really want to place a strong emphasis on the “sweet” in the sweet potato, a great way to do that is to make a sweet potato pie. The good thing about it is that most of the sweetness comes from the potato itself, so you don’t have to add many other external sweeteners such as sugar.

Sweet Potato Soup

Finally, another excellent way to utilize the strong properties of sweet potato is to make it into a soup. This can be a great solution during the cold winter months, because sweet potato soup is super heavy and warm.

Here is an easy recipe that shows you just how easy it is to make tasty sweet potato  fries at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • Spicy paprika
  • Garlic powder

Start by pre-heating your oven to 375 degrees F.

Once the oven is warming up, wash and cut your sweet potatoes into strips with about a quarter-inch or thickness. Don’t worry about removing the skin of the sweet potatoes—leaving them on is healthier and better tasting.

Once you’ve cut up the sweet potato, add the “fries” to a bowl. Toss them in extra-virgin olive oil until they are lightly coated. Then, begin to add the salt, black pepper, spicy paprika, and garlic powder while tossing. Use the seasonings to taste—you can add more paprika for more heat or more garlic powder for a tangy flavor.

Once the fries are seasoned, arrange them on top of parchment paper on an oven tray. Allow them to cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until they are slightly browned and crispy.

Take them out of the oven and allow to them to cool for 10-15 minutes until serving. Enjoy!

]]> If you are looking to lose some of the carbs in your breakfast and replace them with lots of vitamins and minerals, sweet potato toast is what you need in your life. To make the base, all you need to cut them lengthwise into thin pieces or use a mandoline to do the job. Then, brush them with some olive or coconut oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them until they are soft and just started to brown. Once you have the base, let them cool so the toppings won’t melt and you can make them totally customizable! Here are just a few ideas.

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is a great spread on your sweet potato toast because it compliments the sweetness, and adds protein to your breakfast as well! Spread it on and add whatever you want on top, like nuts, bananas, or keep it plain and enjoy.

Happy #toasttuesday ! These sweet potato toasts were more like healthy dessert nachos, HEAVVEENNNNN 😍🤤 Sometimes it’s worth giving into a sweet tooth & having a little candy or somethin, but did you know that indulging in heavily processed goodies will often worsen cravings & leave you wanting more?! 😱That’s what they’re chemically designed to do! One of many reasons I prefer to satisfy a sweet tooth NATURALLY 😌🙌🏽 (& trust it tastes as good if not better! 😉) Whole natural foods will obvi offer health benefits (duh) but in terms of satisfying cravings, they’re more effective bc they will be more satiating. This is due to volume, fiber, & bc it’s more work for your body to digest than heavily processed foods. There’s also less of an insulin spike with no (or minimal) added sugars. My toppings also included a lot of healthy fats, which are slower digesting👌🏽 👉🏽Portioning is still key even with health foods- I only did a couple grams of each topping. Had I gone with full serving sizes of each it would’ve been enough fats for a lifetime 😹 toppings outlined below! 👇🏽 🍭”SAUCES”- @barneybutter Cocoa n Coconut Almond Butter, @kitehillfoods Vegan Plain Unsweetened Almond Yogurt (needs seasonings mixed in!!!) 🍭”SPRINKLES”- Unsweetened Coconut Shavings, Shaved Almonds, Dried Golden Raisins 🍭FLAVORS- Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, & @flavorgod Buttery Cinnamon Roll Seasoning 👉🏽That unsweetened almond yogurt is nottt tasty on its own so make sure you mix in some spices! 😝

Avocado

Regular avocado toast has nothing on sweet potato avocado toast. The creaminess of the avocado takes the sweet potato to the next level, and you will not be disappointed. Whether you want to leave it plain, cover it in chia seeds, or pour over some sriracha, everything simply tastes good.

First, preheat your oven to a medium-high temperature. Wash and cut your sweet potato up into bite-sized pieces. Line a baking pan with parchment paper. Spread the sweet potato evenly onto the pan. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Bake until golden brown.

Next, heat up vegetable oil in a pan over medium heat. Chop your tofu into bite-sized cubes and add into the warm oil. Cook until crisp on all sides. Add soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing to combine, and let cook a bit longer.

In a large bowl, combine diced cucumbers and tomatoes with garlic dressing, croutons, and lemon juice. Once the tofu and sweet potato are cooked and cooled down, add them to the large bowl and combine everything.

Here is an easy recipe that shows you just how easy it is to make tasty sweet potato  fries at home.

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • Extra-virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt
  • Black pepper
  • Spicy paprika
  • Garlic powder

Start by pre-heating your oven to 375 degrees F.

Once the oven is warming up, wash and cut your sweet potatoes into strips with about a quarter-inch or thickness. Don’t worry about removing the skin of the sweet potatoes—leaving them on is healthier and better tasting.

Once you’ve cut up the sweet potato, add the “fries” to a bowl. Toss them in extra-virgin olive oil until they are lightly coated. Then, begin to add the salt, black pepper, spicy paprika, and garlic powder while tossing. Use the seasonings to taste—you can add more paprika for more heat or more garlic powder for a tangy flavor.

Once the fries are seasoned, arrange them on top of parchment paper on an oven tray. Allow them to cook in the oven for 8-10 minutes or until they are slightly browned and crispy.

Take them out of the oven and allow to them to cool for 10-15 minutes until serving. Enjoy!

]]> If you are looking to lose some of the carbs in your breakfast and replace them with lots of vitamins and minerals, sweet potato toast is what you need in your life. To make the base, all you need to cut them lengthwise into thin pieces or use a mandoline to do the job. Then, brush them with some olive or coconut oil, salt, and pepper, and roast them until they are soft and just started to brown. Once you have the base, let them cool so the toppings won’t melt and you can make them totally customizable! Here are just a few ideas.

Peanut Butter

Peanut butter is a great spread on your sweet potato toast because it compliments the sweetness, and adds protein to your breakfast as well! Spread it on and add whatever you want on top, like nuts, bananas, or keep it plain and enjoy.

Happy #toasttuesday ! These sweet potato toasts were more like healthy dessert nachos, HEAVVEENNNNN 😍🤤 Sometimes it’s worth giving into a sweet tooth & having a little candy or somethin, but did you know that indulging in heavily processed goodies will often worsen cravings & leave you wanting more?! 😱That’s what they’re chemically designed to do! One of many reasons I prefer to satisfy a sweet tooth NATURALLY 😌🙌🏽 (& trust it tastes as good if not better! 😉) Whole natural foods will obvi offer health benefits (duh) but in terms of satisfying cravings, they’re more effective bc they will be more satiating. This is due to volume, fiber, & bc it’s more work for your body to digest than heavily processed foods. There’s also less of an insulin spike with no (or minimal) added sugars. My toppings also included a lot of healthy fats, which are slower digesting👌🏽 👉🏽Portioning is still key even with health foods- I only did a couple grams of each topping. Had I gone with full serving sizes of each it would’ve been enough fats for a lifetime 😹 toppings outlined below! 👇🏽 🍭”SAUCES”- @barneybutter Cocoa n Coconut Almond Butter, @kitehillfoods Vegan Plain Unsweetened Almond Yogurt (needs seasonings mixed in!!!) 🍭”SPRINKLES”- Unsweetened Coconut Shavings, Shaved Almonds, Dried Golden Raisins 🍭FLAVORS- Cinnamon, Nutmeg, Unsweetened Cocoa Powder, & @flavorgod Buttery Cinnamon Roll Seasoning 👉🏽That unsweetened almond yogurt is nottt tasty on its own so make sure you mix in some spices! 😝

Avocado

Regular avocado toast has nothing on sweet potato avocado toast. The creaminess of the avocado takes the sweet potato to the next level, and you will not be disappointed. Whether you want to leave it plain, cover it in chia seeds, or pour over some sriracha, everything simply tastes good.
