8 recipes for sweetie potatoes
Let’s show some love for sweet potatoes, the most colorful vegetable at the grocery store these days and a pocket of soft and creamy sweetness amongst all the bitter, rugged, dark leafy greens. (I love them, too.)
At this point in the season, you might not want to look at another sweet potato, but look again because there are so many ways to eat them! Double down on their sweetness. Contrast with freshness and crunch. Crisp them in the oven. Smush them into a smushy puree or even a soup. See what I mean in the following eight recipes, which have gift links when possible.
