Here are some of my favorite sweet potato recipes — from easy slow-cooker dinners to one-pan weeknight meals and a few baked treats like sweet potato bread and muffins. Many of these dishes rely on pantry staples such as black beans, chickpeas, quinoa, and rice, so you likely have most ingredients on hand. They’re simple, flavorful, and perfect for cozy dinners or casual meal prep.
