    Are sweet potatoes healthy?

    YES! Absolutely!

    Sweet potatoes are packed full of numerous health benefits.

    They’re high in fiber and antioxidants and they promote a healthy gut and brain. They are also rich in Vitamin C, potassium, and beta-carotene (which our bodies convert to vitamin A).

    More benefits

    Sweet potatoes are filling, delicious, naturally sweet, and completely versatile.

    And since sweet potatoes are readily available in supermarkets all year long, that makes them an easy ingredient to obtain.

    So even though sweet potatoes are typically enjoyed in the fall and over Thanksgiving you can dig into these incredible dishes all year long.

    What you’ll find here

    • Plant-based, dairy-free, egg-free recipes using wholesome ingredients.
    • Mostly gluten-free, or easily made gluten-free.
    • Many are also oil-free and even refined sugar-free! 🥳
    • And all these dishes taste absolutely delicious, of course! 😉

    Let’s go!
