5 Ways to Love Sweet Potatoes

 


Our love for sweet potatoes goes back 30 years with a deep connection to the land, our farming families continuously work to behold the farming traditions from the generations before us. From the rich red soils of Bundaberg, QLD, and Cudgen, NSW, our farming families have worked tirelessly to grow the best sweet potatoes, embracing both tradition and innovation along the way. Whether it’s trying new varieties or using technology to improve the harvest, our dedication to quality remains the same.

We don’t just love growing sweet potatoes; we also appreciate all their benefits and delicious taste. Sweet potatoes are a versatile tasty and nutritious addition to any meal. Whether you love them roasted, mashed, or turned into a crispy toast alternative, there’s a recipe for everyone. We’ve put together five of our favourite sweet potato dishes that showcase just how many ways you can enjoy this humble vegetable.

1     SWEET POTATO & CORN MEXICAN BURGER

Crispy, golden sweet potato, and corn fritters bring a delightful mix of sweetness and crunch, while the mild heat adds a satisfying kick. Paired with creamy smashed avocado and crunchy baby cos lettuce, all tucked into a soft brioche bun. It’s the perfect veggie option for a BBQ or a quick dinner that doesn’t compromise on taste.

2     SWEET POTATO SPLIT WITH KALE TABOULI & LABNE

Ideal for smaller sweet potatoes, this recipe is both simple and satisfying. Roast the sweet potatoes whole until tender, then split them open and top with a refreshing kale tabouli, made with parsley, mint, tomatoes, and lemon for a burst of freshness. A dollop of creamy labne rounds off this dish, adding a rich, tangy finish.

3     SWEET POTATO TOAST TWO WAYS

Sweet potato toast makes for a nutritious and tasty snack or breakfast, especially if you’re trying to avoid gluten or grains. Toast up thick slices of sweet potato, then get creative with your toppings! Try smashed avocado with smoked salmon and poached eggs for a savoury start, or go for scrambled eggs with crispy maple bacon for something heartier. For a sweet option, cashew date butter spread is a tasty option.

4     ROAST SWEET POTATO, KALE, & CUCUMBER SALAD

This salad is the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Roasted sweet potatoes add a subtle sweetness that compliments the crunch of fresh cucumbers and the heartiness of kale. Tossed with fresh herbs like basil and parsley, and finished with toasted almonds for a nutty crunch, this salad gets an extra zing from a honey chilli dressing that ties everything together. Pack it in a mason jar for a delicious work lunch.

5     SWEET POTATO MASH WITH PARSLEY OIL

Take your mash to the next level with this creamy sweet potato version. Blended with butter, thickened cream, and a touch of parmesan cheese, this mash has a rich, velvety texture that pairs beautifully with just about anything. Drizzle with a fresh parsley oil for a herby note that lifts this dish from simple to standout.
