Need some Sweet Potato Ideas..

[catscharm74]

I bought about 8 sweet potatoes and my toddler loves them steamed with a little butter, but I would like to try something raw with him. Any suggestions??
Thanks.

Cheers,
Heather

Ooh my favorite is slicing them very thin, and dehydrating into crackers. no need for seasonings or anything, just plain...delicious!

I also have a recipe for a pumpkin/fall soup with them, if you're interested.

Aha, found the recipe. But I'm not keen on posting other authors recipes for the world, so if you'd like to send me your email addy, I can send the recipe your way. It's called "Pumpkin Pie In a Bowl" =)

I saw a post here awhile back about someone who liked to cut sweet potatoes into chips and eat them fresh and raw. I havn't tried it yet but I made a mental note to try it. Maybe someone could comment on cutting the sweet potatoe and eating it immediately ? I would be interested in comments about this.

sweet potatoe curry recipe on the board http://www.rawfoodtalk.com/showthread.php?p=267744#post267744

also sweet potato crisps dehydrated seasoned or marinated before you dehydrate them

[KellyL]

I was making sweet potato chips one day with my spiralizer and got too hungry to dehydrate them. They had salt and garlic powder on them. I just ate them instead of dehydrating and they were great. A little bit starchier than the dehydrated ones but they still had a crunch.

I made Rawritos of of them. I sliced them with the mandolin, then marinated them in Bragg, olive oil, vinegar, garlic and cumin. I sprinkled a little nutritional yeast on them and put them in the dehydrator until they were crunchy.

We also have made sweet potato patties. Put a sweet pot, quinoa sprouts, a red pepper and any seasoning you like. I formed them into patties using the ring to a large mouth canning jar as a mold. I put them in for about 12 hours on teflex, flipped them onto a screen for a couple of hours more.

Next time I am going to make them with chili powder and make sour cream for a topping.
