Simplify Dinner with These 15 Deliciously Stuffed Sweet Potato Recipe! – One Green Planet

While we enjoy eating potatoes year-round, there’s something particularly special about eating sweet potatoes in the autumn. Not only are these super spuds high in beta-carotene, an antioxidant that is converted to vitamin A in the human body, but they also provide the antioxidant vitamins C and E, as well as vitamin B6, potassium, and manganese.

While sweet potatoes can be enjoyed in a number of different ways, we’re particularly fond of tucking into stuffed sweet potatoes when we need a dose of comfort and good-for-you fuel. Not only are stuffed sweet potato recipes quick and easy, they’re extremely versatile, so you could have a different variation of the meal every night of the week and never feel like you’re eating the same thing.
