Sweet and tasty

Sweet potatoes are a good source of fiber, vitamins and minerals, and they’re super versatile too. Our recipe collection includes warming soups, hearty stews, easy sides, simple tray bakes, tasty brunches and healthy salads. Read on to find out how you can incorporate this simple vegetable into your cooking repertoire.

Sweet potato nachos

Slices of sweet potato roasted in olive oil replace the tortilla chips in this winning recipe. It can either be topped with veggies or beef and it’s layered up with the crispy potato, refried black beans and covered in melting cheese. There’s a zesty tomato and cilantro salsa to serve on the side.

Sweet potato, feta and red onion frittata

When you need a speedy dinner, this easy dish fits the bill. It’s the combination of salty feta cheese with the sweetness of the potatoes and onions which makes it so tasty. Just be careful not to overcook it – the eggs will become tough and rubbery, and you’ll lose the wonderful creaminess of the dish.

Kidney bean and sweet potato stew

This Persian-inspired stew consists of kidney beans and chunks of sweet potato cooked with spices in tomato passata (pureed, strained tomatoes). To serve, top with fresh parsley, cooling yogurt and a hot oil with dried mint (which is much more intense than fresh mint).

Sweet potato burger

Here’s a great veggie burger recipe which is far superior to anything you could buy. The patty is a purée of cooked sweet potato and black beans, flavored with spices and red pepper. It’s served in a bun with an avocado and cilantro cream, with mayo, jalapeños, lettuce and tomato. They are best pan-fried than grilled, so they keep their shape.

Moroccan sweet potatoes

This vegan dish is bursting with flavor – it’s sweet, spicy and hot. Baked sweet potatoes are topped with spiced, garlicky lentils, cooked with tomatoes, ginger and fresh spinach. The finished dish is drizzled with a lemon harissa dressing. Healthy and high in protein, this is a meal in itself, although the lentils would make a great side for lamb.

Sweet potato noodles with creamy satay sauce

Do you want to make a tasty, healthy dinner for two in less than 30 minutes? Spirals of sweet potato are cooked with ginger, spinach and garlic, tossed in a peanut sauce flavored with tamari (or you can use soy sauce), lime, chili and honey. If you don’t have a spiralizer, you can buy them pre-made.

Sweet potato shakshuka

Shakshuka is a Middle Eastern dish which consists of eggs baked in a spicy tomato, onion and pepper sauce. This recipe has put a wonderful twist on the classic dish, made up of cheesy, spiced sweet potato mash which the eggs sit in. It’s then topped with crunchy sweet potato skins, pickled red onion and a chili butter.

Sweet potato curry noodle soup

Inspired by a tasty dish from Northern Thailand, this colorful, creamy coconut veggie curry will be on the table in 30 minutes. There’s no tricky preparation either as the base is a shop-bought Thai red curry paste. Add in some coconut milk, ginger, fresh lime, chunks of sweet potato, noodles, and sugar snaps with a handful of fresh cilantro to create a bowl of goodness.

Baked sweet potato salad

A side with a difference, this warm salad is perfect with a steak or roast chicken. The roasted sweet potatoes are dressed with lime, tamari (or soy sauce) and chili, then topped with fresh herbs and crunchy roasted peanuts. Tamari is a thicker sauce like soy, but it’s usually gluten-free.

Sausage and sweet potato traybake

Everyone loves a bung-it-in-the-oven dish for an easy midweek meal. Here, sausages, sprouts, onions, herbs and sweet potato are roasted and then dressed in wholegrain mustard, lemon and garlic. However, don’t cram everything in on one tray as the vegetables will steam, and you want them browned and crisp. Divide it between two trays if you need to.

Jackfruit loaded sweet potato fries

With jackfruit now readily available in tins, this veggie dish is easy to make. The pulled, spiced barbecue jackfruit is made with a shop-bought barbecue sauce, sitting on crisp sweet potato fries then covered with cheese. This is perfect sharing food, where leftover pulled pork could easily replace the jackfruit, if you prefer.

Braised lamb with sweet potatoes

Chunks of good-value lamb neck fillet are slow-cooked in stock packed with curry spices, tomatoes, sweet mango chutney and vegetables, with the sweet potatoes and haricot beans added towards the end of cooking. This dish needs time to cook, but the preparation only takes 15 minutes.

Baked sweet potatoes with spicy sausage

Slow-baked potatoes really makes their sweetness shine. In this easy recipe, the cooked flesh is scooped out, then mixed with spicy pork sausage, grated cheese, onions and chili, and topped with a baked egg.

Sweet potato and parsnip soup

This rich, creamy, comforting soup is rustled up in 30 minutes. It’s served with a drizzle of truffle oil, which isn’t to everyone’s taste, so you could add an extra swirl of cream, crunchy croutons or grated cheese for added flavor.

Cajun sweet potato and meatball salad

Chunks of sweet potato are roasted with spices and chicken meatballs then served on a tasty salad of kidney beans, cucumber and crunchy lettuce, dressed with fresh lime. Yet, turkey meatballs would work just as well. It’s an easy, nutritious dish with plenty of flavor and texture.

Sweet beans pie

A substantial veggie dish where canned beans are mixed with tomatoes, herbs and savory seasoning, topped with buttered, creamy, mashed sweet potatoes. Covered with melted, grated cheese, it’s an economical dish made with mostly store cupboard ingredients.

Orange and honey glazed chicken skewers

Cubes of chicken are marinated in a spiced orange and honey glaze, before being threaded onto skewers with cubes of sweet potato and fresh bay leaves. It’s a perfect dish for grilling season, served with a crunchy fennel and beet salad.

Stuffed sweet potatoes with broccoli and hummus

Why not add this vegan dish to your weekly roster? The baked potato is stuffed with Swiss chard and broccoli flavored with lime and fresh ginger, topped with hummus and a good drizzle of hot sauce to perk up the flavors.

Sweet potato hash

This easy sweet potato hash is on the table in 45 minutes, making it a perfect midweek dish. The fried potatoes are combined with broccoli, crispy bacon and onions and topped with a poached egg to serve. It’s a great recipe for using up leftover vegetables you have in the fridge.

Sweetcorn and sweet potato chowder

A creamy chowder, packed with vegetables, herbs, spices and chili, will hit the spot when comfort food is required. The recipe asks for two fresh cobs of sweetcorn, but if you only have frozen kernels add around 8oz (250g). It’s served with crisp, cheesy tortillas which are so delicious that we recommend you make extra.

Camembert salad with spiced sweet potatoes

A terrific combination of flavors and texture, this easy salad is made up of sweet potatoes roasted with spices, slices of creamy melted Camembert, sweet prosciutto and rocket leaves. There’s a dressing of olive oil and balsamic vinegar to drizzle over too. Brie or fried halloumi work well as alternative options to the Camembert.

Stuffed sweet potatoes

When barbecue season is in full swing, this dish will be a perfect side to any grill. The baked potatoes are stuffed with cheese and crispy bacon, then topped with sour cream and chives to serve. The mix of sweet and salty, with the melted cheese and cream and crunchy skin of the sweet potato, will be a winner every time.

Sweet potato and blackberry cheesecake

Little cubes of spiced sweet potato are cooked with orange and honey then folded into a mascarpone cheesecake mixture before being baked in the oven, topped with a blackberry compote. The base is a simple biscuit crumb, and it may sound unusual, but the flavors really marry together well.

Sweet potato pies with marshmallow topping

A recipe for those with a sweet tooth. A filling of spiced baked sweet potato, puréed with condensed milk and eggs, is piled into pastry cases then topped with marshmallow. The recipe requires a little effort, but you could use shop-bought shortcrust pastry to speed up the process.

Sweet potato rösti with poached eggs

Perfect for a weekend brunch, these crisp potato cakes are topped with mashed avocado and a poached egg. Speed up the recipe by grating the sweet potatoes in a food processor, then mix with egg, herbs, a dash of chili and some olive oil. They are baked in the oven, so it could be made in advance then reheated to serve.
