Sweet Potato Recipes

I love sweet potatoes - they are versatile, filling, nutritious, and perfect for the Clean Eater. Here are some great recipes I found over at Women's Health Magazine's website.

Roasted Sweet Potato Salad

Roast sweet potatoes and red bell peppers together for a delicious mingling of flavors and then place over a bed of spinach or arugula and sprinkle with white balsamic vinegar. Serve this as side dish or add goat cheese and grilled chicken for a satisfying lunch.

Gingered Sweet Potato and Carrot Soup

 

You can make this creamy soup in a flash with the help of a food processor or blender. And vegetarians take note: it works just as well if you sub vegetable stock for chicken broth.

Spiced Sweet Potato Chips

 

Dusted with a blend of sweet and hot seasonings including chili power and cumin these crunchy chips never stay around for long. Your best bet: make them in small batches—one potato is enough!—and enjoy right away.( Maura's note: consider swapping the sugar out for another source of sweet like honey or agave crystals, or ditch it altogether )

Baked Sweet Potato Latkes

 

A sweet take on a traditionally savory dish. Grated sweet potatoes get mixed up with cinnamon, nutmeg, eggs, and flour. The result: Seriously flavorful potato pancakes.

Rosemary Sweet Potato Wedges

 

Skip the home fries and try these sweet potato wedges instead. Baked in the oven, they are packed with beta-carotene and are lower in fat than a fried potato—but still have a satisfyingly crisp skin.
