15 Amazing Healthy Sweet Potato Recipes

15 healthy sweet potato recipes you'll love! For breakfast, lunch, and dinner

In time for the cooler weather that’s starting to come to NC, I wanted to do a round-up of some of my favorite healthy sweet potato recipes from my blog, plus other sweet potato recipes from around the web that I can’t wait to try.

It’s no secret that I love sweet potatoes– I have so many sweet potato recipes on the blog. I love sweet potatoes year-round, but there’s something extra wonderful about sweet potatoes in the fall and winter, especially in cozy recipes like sweet potato chili.

To check out these recipes, you can click on the recipe title or photo to take you to the recipe on my site or another site. I hope these recipes give you an idea or two for a fun new way to use sweet potatoes!

1. Sweet Potato Breakfast Bowl

This is one of the most popular recipes on the blog, and it’s one of my favorites, too! It reminds me of sweet potato casserole and is so simple and comforting.

 

2. Sweet Potato Kale Hash with Poached Eggs

How good does this look? Sweet potatoes, feta, tomatoes, kale…it doesn’t get much better!

3. Sweet Potato Nachos

Gah, I love these. They’re a fun appetizer or an amazing main dish. I’d happily eat these day after day after day.

4. Shepherd’s Pie with Sweet Potato Topping

I haven’t tried this recipe yet, but I really love this idea!

5. Simple Roasted Sweet Potatoes

The simple method I use for perfectly cooked (and perfectly spiced) roasted sweet potato cubes every time!Crispy Roasted Sweet Potato Wedges- the perfect easy, healthy side!

6. One-Skillet Sweet Potato Burrito Bowls

I’ve tried this recipe and it was as good as it sounds!

7. Sweet Potato Casserole

This one’s a Thanksgiving classic! It tastes super decadent but I lightened it up with just a touch of honey and coconut milk for creaminess.

8. Roasted Sweet Potato Quinoa Salad

I love that this is a lighter way to use sweet potatoes!

9. Sweet Potato Lentil Black Bean Chili

I’ve made this on repeat every winter since I originally developed the recipe. The spice level is perfect and there are so many great textures from the sweet potatoes, lentils, and black beans. It’s incredible with a dollop of plain Greek yogurt or sour cream on top!This sweet potato, black bean, and lentil chili is healthy and hearty– you'll never miss the meat!

 

10. Turkey Sweet Potato Breakfast Lasagna

I can’t wait to try this (and I’d totally make it for dinner, too!).

 

11. Sweet Potato Chickpea Stew

This one needs updated photos, but it’s another of my favorite cozy winter chilis/stews. It’s so creamy, mildly spiced, and delicious, and the pictures don’t do it justice!Sweet Potato and Chickpea Stew- easy, healthy, and DELICIOUS!

12. Healthy Slow Cooker Buffalo Chicken Sweet Potatoes

How amazing do these look? I can’t wait to try!

13. Paleo Sweet Potato Chili

I make this chili all of the time, typically with ground turkey. There are no beans in it, so it’s Whole30 and Paleo-friendly, and you don’t even miss them!

14. Ground Turkey Sweet Potato Skillet

I’ve pinned this recipe on Pinterest to make sometime soon and can’t wait to give it a try. It has lots of positive reviews!

15. Easy Mexican Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

And last but not least, I love these Mexican stuffed sweet potatoes. They’re really easy and delicious just like this, or with some shredded chicken added.

Hope you found a new recipe or two to try! Do you have any favorite sweet potato recipes? Feel free to share or drop a link!

    I am making your roasted sweet potato cubes for dinner tonight to go with homemade barbeque beef. I served them at our last potluck and they were a huge hit! So easy and delicious!
