From pound cake to mashed, barbecue, tacos, soup and fries, there’s so much more to sweet potatoes than a casserole! Get ready to enjoy one of fall’s coziest vegetables with this week’s Saturday Seven collection of easy sweet potato recipes.
It’s true. Sweet potatoes give apples and pumpkins a good run for their money when it comes to being fall’s most favored ingredient. Even though they can be enjoyed year round, sweet potatoes really shine when loaded up with a little cozy feels of fall and winter.
And they’re not relegated to the side dish category either. They make great desserts. And capitalizing on their sweet + savory status, sweet potatoes can really shine as main dish too!
