Mashed Sweet Potatoes Recipe

Don’t underestimate the power of a side dish, especially when that side dish is a bowl of spiced mashed sweet potatoes!

Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrients such as beta-carotene, fiber, minerals and vitamin B6. Add in turmeric, an amazing source of antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties, and coconut milk which lowers cholesterol, and you have a powerhouse of nutrition in one dish! Be sure to add the pepper to help activate the turmeric.

Many recipes boil the sweet potatoes first and then mash them, but I prefer to bake them in the oven first instead. Baked sweet potatoes develop a deep rich caramelized flavor from the oven roasting.

After baking the potatoes, then you peel and mash them creating a more flavorful final result. Our sweet and spicy sweet potatoes are decadent and creamy with a hint of spice. Perfect with any meal!

Are sweet potatoes good for you?

Yes, sweet potatoes are nutritious and good for you! One medium sweet potato provides the following:

  • 400% of your daily needs for vitamin A
  • large amounts of fiber and potassium
  • Vitamins C, B-6 and E
  • Calcium
  • Iron
  • Magnesium
  • Phosphorus
  • Zinc
  • Thiamin
  • Riboflavin
  • Beta-carotene
  • Is high in antioxidants
  • May reduce the risk of developing cancer
  • May delay aging
