This puree is used in soups, pies, dips, and more.
Sweet Potatoes provide a lot of nutritional benefits. Sweet Potato Puree can be eaten as a side dish or added to many dishes to add sweet flavor and creamy texture.
Sweet Potato Puree, like Pumpkin Puree or applesauce can be used in baking. It’s also great by itself as homemade baby food. It’s ideal for Sweet Potato Pancakes, to top a Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie (simply use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes), added to oatmeal like in this Slow Cooker Sweet Potato Oatmeal, to smoothies, to dips such as this Sweet Potato Hummus, and to soups, such as the Slow Cooker Veggie Soup with a Thai Twist.
It can also be eaten alone topped with toasted pecans and a drizzle of honey for an easy, nutrient-dense side dish that’s the perfect substitute for mashed potatoes. A touch of coconut oil and maple syrup or honey can also be stirred into the puree for added richness, if eating just the puree.
