We can’t seem to get enough of sweet potato recipes these days. If you haven’t made many sweet potato recipes beyond holiday meal prep, you’re in for a surprise! They’re sweet but also can go in a savory direction depending on how you cook them, and they’re loaded with health benefits, too. We love them proteins like chicken and turkey, but they also work great in vegetarian and vegan dishes with chickpeas, black beans, and other legumes, along with pulses like lentils.
