1 Batch of Sweet Potatoes, 4 Easy Recipes
Teach a parent to roast a batch of sweet potatoes, and they'll feed their family for a week
Hi friends,
Thank GOD for sweet potatoes. Heroes of the family kitchen. Magical butt-saving tubers. Nutritious, but also extremely delicious, and sweet enough to appease even the most dubious of diners.
Ever since our kids started eating, we’ve had a container full of roasted sweet potatoes in our fridge most weeks—an insurance policy against an otherwise empty fridge and/or mind. Why? Because sweet potatoes are not just for babies and bodybuilders—they are culinary shape-shifters, versatile players who can be the canvas or the star, fall in line with a host of other ingredients, or stand out as the main attraction. So, this week’s newsletter contains not only our foolproof batch roasting technique, but 4 additional recipes to stretch the bounty throughout the week. We give you:
Baked sweet potatoes with crispy pimentón chickpeas, scallions, cheese and a dollop of greek yogurt-tahini whip
Sweet potato + black bean veggie burgers that have been deemed “f!@king delicious” by vegetarians and meat eaters alike
Browned sweet potato medallions drizzled in a bright, herby salsa verde
Sheet pan sweet potato nachos, because you know what? When you add sweet potatoes, nachos become an acceptable dinner food, ok?
Speaking of this week… Mother’s Day. Regardless of how you feel about a holiday that may or may not fall into the category of “invented by Hallmark,” it’s always nice to express some gratitude for any person who does the hard job of mothering. For those of us in search of last-minute-ish gifts (even for ourselves), we’re offering:
