Last week, we talked about desserts like cakes and cupcakes, the typical sweet treats you might find on someone’s dessert plate. But just because sweet potatoes are considered a vegetable, and they’re actually good for you, doesn’t mean you can’t eat them for dessert. Sure, I often serve them as a dinner side dish, simple and steamed, but these veggies can easily be taken to another level with a few basic ingredients that are probably in your pantry right now. LadyLovelace’s Pecan-Crusted Fluffy Sweet Potato recipe inspired me to create a similar dish, with a few extra fun ingredients. I didn’t mash-up my sweet potatoes, instead, I cut them into little cubes and sprinkled a few spices, like cinnamon and pumpkin spice, on top before putting them in the oven to bake for about half an hour. I also added a few almonds to the mix, along with a bit of apple juice and brown sugar to create a lightly sweet glaze for the potatoes. Sweet potato is a versatile, tasty food that can be eaten in so many ways; even the non-sweet potato lover would probably find something like mirving’s sweet potato nut bread delicious.
