Pumpkins seem to get all the glory this time of year, but in my opinion, the humble sweet potato is the real star of fall cooking. As I put this list of favorite recipes together, I unintentionally chose (nearly) all sweet potato recipes. What can I say? They’re healthy, versatile, and are also (conveniently) easier to cut than butternut squashes, pumpkins, and other gourd varieties…

      thanks Laura! Hope you like these 🙂

  2. Oh, I could not agree more with you about sweet potato being the star of fall. I have it in some recipe or another probably weekly in the cold months. And I have made your sweet potato alfredo and the skillet apple crisp and can attest to how amazing they both are!

    Those sweet potato and tahini crostini sound amazing! I agree, I eat way more sweet potato in the fall than I do pumpkin 🙂

  4. I almost forget about sweet potatoes every year because of the pumpkin domination – thanks for reminding me of te humble orange spud with those beautiful recipes!

    I’m definitely more into sweet potatoes than pumpkin. Though I do love butternut too…
    Must make that sweet potato tahini spread you used on those charming crostini.

    I consume sooooo much chili, squash, and soups/stews during this time of year! Those loaded baked potatoes look delish.

  9. Love the vegan sweet potato Alfredo. So creative!! Sweet potatoes are a staple
    At my house all year (which is why I guess I don’t think of them as “fall” right away) but I agree they need some love too! Thanks for sharing all these look amazing.

  10. I think those sweet potatoes and that apple crisp would make the perfect pair for date night. Lovely links 🙂
