Sweet potatoes or yams? Fun Fact: most tubers labeled “yams” in the U.S. are sweet potatoes. Lots of history and lore around that, but we’re here for the flavor! As a bonus, sweet potatoes are high in beta carotene, vitamin C and fiber. We love them in spicy hot chilis, and they love smoky spice blends. Oh, and did someone say pie? Yes to all. Let’s get to the roundup! Grab some sweet potatoes/yams and get cooking! Listen to Anne talk Sweet Potatoes & Yams on Smidgen Podcast!
1- Sweet Potato Pancakes
No matter if your Thanksgiving sweet potato casserole is topped with nuts or marshmallows, they’re all invited to this pancake breakfast. Leftover mashed sweet potatoes help make these tender delights that are just begging for a big glug of maple syrup. We add in British Cake Spice for comforting seasonal flavor – sure to make your morning after Thanksgiving extra delicious.
2- Bourbon Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Mashed sweet potatoes with garlic and a hint of bourbon? What could go wrong. Nothing! With our Garlic Maple Blend and Bourbon Balsamic, these sweet spuds never had it so good.
3- Sweet Potato Pie
For our version. we bring in Gingerbread Spice Blend with its cinnamon, cloves and allspice. Pure Maple Extract helps to point up the sweetness of the sweet potatoes. More pie? Always. Check out our Sweet Potato and Pumpkin Pie.
4- Hasselback Sweet Potatoes
Honey Chipotle Rub is a sweet-savory-spicy compliment for sweet potatoes. We thinly slice sweet potatoes and slather on a butter, Roasted Garlic Avocado Oil and Honey Chipotle Rub mixture. They bake up crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Looking for a way to change up sweet potato casserole? This is the one!
5- Sweet Potato & Black Bean Burger
Smoky and little bit sweet plus a gluten-free, protein-packed slam dunk – this West African-inspired veggie burger is an all-around winner. These patties can be oven roasted or skillet sizzled. They make a big batch and freeze well. Smoked Paprika adds a sweet-smoky note while Grains of Paradise deliver the heat. We’ve dunked these burgers in Jay D’s Barbecue Sauce. Dolloped them with Kewpie Mayo. Even dotted them with sweet heat from Grinning Jupiter’s Pepper Jelly. No matter how you dress these burgers, they are so, so good!
6- Coffee Roasted Sweet Potato Fries
Our Coffee BBQ Rub is easily the best seller in the shop. The coffee and chiles play perfectly alongside the crunchy brown sugar. It’s a favorite for steaks. We love it for tri-tip. A must for backyard burgers. We took this favorite for a spin on spuds, and the result? Perfection.
7- Rosemary Roasted Smashed Sweet Potatoes
We love when we land on a new sweet potato recipe. This one had us gobbling up the toasty bits right off the sheet pan! So much amazing flavor here. Rosemary Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Sariette Blend are a marvelous marriage that’s made perfect with the addition of parmesan cheese and Roasted Garlic Sea Salt. So good!
8- Sweet Potato Lentil and Chickpea Curry
This protein-packed vegan meal is big on nutrition and flavor. Lentils, chickpeas, spinach and nut butter – they all make an appearance here and add to the layers of flavor, texture and goodness. We deliver big curry boosts with Garlic Curry Powder and Curry Paste. Serve up a big, warm bowl of comfort.
9- Roasted Sweet Potato Quiche
We can always count on Teaching Kitchen instructor Lili Courtney to bring big flavor to the party. This quiche is no exception. Fig Balsamic goes to work to roast the sweet red onions. The sweet potatoes are roasted in Garlic Maple Rub and Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil. Then they all join the party in flaky crust for this dish that is a flavor explosion. A delicious meal morning, noon or night.
