For many, many years I was one of those people who would wrinkle their nose up at the mere mention of sweet potatoes (or yams as they are often mistakenly called.) I didn't think I'd ever like them, but then I tried Spicy Sweet Potato Fries and had a sweet potato epiphany. I realized that what I didn't like was those overly-sweet dishes with sweet potatoes, brown sugar, and mini-marshallows, the ones that so many people serve for Thanksgiving. Since then I've experimented with different ways to prepare sweet potatoes sans marshmallows. A few years ago I picked six favorite sweet potato recipes, and now I'm updating this post with four more. That's a total of Ten Favorite Deliciously Healthy Sweet Potato Recipes to recommend for your Thanksgiving table. Even if you're one of the people who like those marshmallow-topped holiday sweet potato dishes, I bet some of my favorite recipes for sweet potatoes for might be things you'd like to add to your sweet potato options.

My latest sweet potatoes creation combines two of my favorite flavors; loved these Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Red Onions with Feta.
Sweet potato fans will probably enjoy Sweet Potato Hummus with Olive Oil and Sumac for an appetizer.
My friend Bonnie loves this recipe for Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Red Onions, Rosemary, and Parmesan. I made this with white-fleshed sweet potatoes, but you could use orange ones if you prefer.
Another great idea for roasted sweet potatoes is Roasted Sweet Potatoes and Mushrooms with Thyme and Parsley.
If you've ever had a Chinese stir-fry dish with sweet potatoes you can understand the appeal of these Soy-Glazed Sweet Potatoes with Sesame Seeds.
If you live somewhere that still has warm weather, you might enjoy this Grilled Sweet Potato Salad with Green Onion, Basil, Thyme, and Feta.
I'd love these Twice-Baked Sweet Potatoes with Feta and Sumac for Thanksgiving!
If you're preparing the entire meal for Thanksgiving you may like the appeal of these easy and tasty Spicy CrockPot Sweet Potatoes, cooked entirely in the slow cooker!
They aren't traditional for Thanksgiving, but I'd never turn down Spicy Sweet Potato Fries!
And last, but certainly not least is these Twice-Baked Sweet Potato Cups with Sour Cream, Chipotle, and Lime. I loved these when I made them for Thanksgiving.
A shepherd’s pie is a traditional dish made with ground lamb and mashed potatoes. It is similar to a cottage pie, which is made with ground beef. Either will work in this recipe – the method is the same. The vegan version uses chickpeas, a classic Moroccan ingredient, in lieu of meat. Both versions of this shepherd’s pie are full of Moroccan flavors: ginger, cumin, chili, garlic, hints of cinnamon and cilantro. The traditional white potato has been replaced with a creamy, whipped sweet potato mash; its slight sweetness goes perfectly with the Moroccan spices.
WHY IT’S HEALTHY// Sweet potatoes! One of our favorite foods. Sweet potatoes are nutrient dense: high in vitamin B6 (prevents degenerative diseases), vitamin C (boosts collagen production), vitamin D (helps mood and supports the thyroid), iron (helps us resist stress) and magnesium (promotes relaxation). One serving of sweet potato also contains double the amount of the recommended amount of vitamin A. Cumin is one of the most potent spices for killing bacteria. //
For the vegans: Remember to soak your beans! Soaking unlocks many of the beneficial nutrients and reduces the phytic acid.
For the meat-eaters: Remember to buy local and grass-fed! Support your local farmers and eat meat that provides your body with nutrients, not hormones.
