Sweet potatoes are one seriously versatile tuber! High in Potassium, Manganese, Vitamins A, C, B5, B6 and E, as well as fibre, sweet potatoes are a filling and nutritious food. The sweeter flavour allows for use in both sweet and savoury dishes and also serves as an excellent mashed food for babies (simply roast the sweet potato in its skin, then scoop out the soft flesh when cooked).

So if you’re looking for some fresh and interesting sweet potato ideas, we’ve done the research for you and put together a great variety of recipes for you to try.
