    Looking for vegan sweet potato recipes?

    Here’s a list of 15 Vegan Sweet Potato Recipes, including mains, side dishes, desserts, snacks and drinks made using a mixture of normal sweet potatoes and purple sweet potatoes. These recipes are all gluten-free and refined sugar free and are made using simple plant-based ingredients!

    I love sweet potatoes not only as they're a cheap, nutritious and delicious vegetable but also because they're seriously versatile. They're perfect for savoury dishes such as soups, curries and salads but their natural sweetness and creamy texture means they're an amazing substitute for bananas in desserts. Cooked sweet potatoes blend up beautifully to make sweet treats such as buttercream and brownies, whilst frozen cooked sweet potatoes are perfect blended up to make ice cream and milkshakes!

    1. Sweet Potato Chocolate Buttercream

    This Sweet Potato Chocolate Buttercream Frosting is perfectly sweet, luxuriously rich and creamy, and unbelievably healthy!

    2. Sweet Potato Casserole

    This Sweet Potato Casserole is rich and creamy, subtly spiced and topped with crunchy oats and pecans. The best savoury-sweet side dish especially for Thanksgiving!

      These look so good! I love sweet potatoes. My only problem is they're so good plain, they never make it into anything! Looking forward to trying several of these recipes though. Thanks for sharing!
