30+ Best Paleo Sweet Potato Recipes

As I see it, there are five staple, most versatile vegetables in paleo cooking that replace refined and grain-based carbohydrate foods. While cauliflower is a substitute for rice and zucchini is a perfect spaghetti and noodle alternative, sweet potato pretty much replaces everything else. It’s a truly versatile vegetable so it’s about time that we’ve done a round-up of our favourite paleo sweet potato recipes.

Sweet potatoes (or kumara for our NZ friends) are a starchy vegetable rich in complex carbohydrates and they contain loads of fibre, which means the carbs are slow-releasing; and, they are packed with vitamins and minerals (including vitamins A, B6, and C, potassium and manganese). I consider them a delicious and nutritious “safe starch” and I enjoy them on almost daily basis 🙂

Sweet potatoes come in all different shapes, sizes, and colours – white, purple and the more common orange. They are super versatile and can be cooked in so many different ways – baked, steamed, boiled, fried and even snuck into baking! You can use them to bulk up salads and also to replace white potato in most recipes. You can also spirialise or grate them to make noodles, ‘rice’, rosti, burger buns, and even waffles!
