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.

As the temperatures drop and the weather gets cooler, one dish that is going to find its way into the kitchen is definitely chili. This cold-weather classic combines a hearty stew with all kinds of delicious ingredients such as beans and often meat.

However, you can definitely make a delicious chili without using any meat! Here are some ideas for replacing meat in chili for a vegan alternative.

Quinoa

One great way to replace the texture of the traditional ground meat which is found in chili is by using quinoa. Not only is this grain a perfect substitute texture and taste, but it’s also extremely healthy.

Black Beans

Yes, we know. You almost always find beans in chili, so adding black beans to chili isn’t anything too revolutionary. However, if you combine these black beans with kidney beans, you’ll up the ante and give a little variety to vegan chili.

Sweet potato french fries are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional french fries.

Made with sweet potatoes instead of regular potatoes, they have a unique flavor and add a creative touch to any meal.

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!
