Sweet potatoes are honestly one of those ingredients I never get tired of. You can roast them, mash them, bake them into something sweet or savory, and they somehow always work. Whether you’re looking for a cozy dinner, a fun appetizer, or a dessert that feels just a little healthier, there’s a sweet potato recipe for that.

And good news—you don’t need a ton of ingredients or time to make any of these. I picked out a bunch of my favorite easy sweet potato recipes, and trust me, they’re the kind that’ll actually get made instead of just sitting on your Pinterest board.

So whether you’ve got one lonely sweet potato left in your pantry or you grabbed a whole bag on impulse (been there), this list has you covered. Let’s get cooking.

Sweet Potato Flatbread

This flatbread is soft, chewy, and only needs a few pantry staples to come together. It’s the kind of recipe you’ll want to make again for wraps, dipping, or even just eating warm with butter. Plus, it’s way easier than making actual bread.

Sweet Potato Mini Pizza

These little pizzas are perfect when you want something fun but still homemade. The sweet potato base gets nice and crispy, which balances out all the melty cheese and toppings. They’re also naturally gluten-free if that matters to you.

Sweet Potato Pinwheels

If you’ve never used sweet potato in pinwheels before, you’re in for a surprise. It adds a soft texture and subtle sweetness that works so well with creamy fillings or a bit of spice. They bake up golden and make the best snack or party bite.

Sweet Potato Nachos

These sweet potato nachos are crispy, salty, a little sweet, and totally addictive. You can load them up with black beans, cheese, salsa—whatever you’ve got in the fridge. Way more satisfying than regular chips, honestly.

Sweet Potato Fritters

Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle—these fritters are so simple and so good. I like to serve them with a little yogurt or spicy dip on the side. They also reheat really well, so they’re great for meal prep.

Sweet Potato Brownies

Yep, you can make brownies with sweet potato—and they’re actually fudgy and delicious. They’ve got that rich chocolate flavor but feel a bit more wholesome. You don’t even taste the sweet potato, it just makes everything moist and gooey.

Sweet Potato Tortilla

These are thinner than flatbreads and work so well for wraps or tacos. The sweet potato gives them a bit of flexibility and a nice color too. You can make a small batch fast and skip the store-bought ones.

Sweet Potato Bowl

A good sweet potato bowl hits all the marks: filling, flavorful, and easy to throw together. This is one of my go-to dinners!
