Simply peel the potatoes and cut them into cubes. Place them on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil and cinnamon powder, and bake at 375 degrees F for 25 minutes.

For the sauce, mix honey or maple syrup (if used) with a pinch of salt in a small bowl. Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, top them with the cinnamon sauce and enjoy!

This is another easy-to-make recipe that only takes about 20 minutes. It's very healthy, low-calorie, and pretty simple to prepare!

Next, heat up some olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat and add the sweet potatoes. Cook for about 15 minutes, flipping every few minutes, or until they're crispy on both sides. Once they're done cooking, season them with salt (and pepper if desired) and enjoy!

This burger is a great way to get your veggies in, and it's also vegan! The recipe makes about four burgers.

Sweet Potato Gratin

This is one of my favorite recipes to make during fall or winter because it's so comforting and delicious! It makes about four servings (and can easily be doubled or tripled).

Ingredients:

-One and a half cups milk (I usually use unsweetened almond milk)

-One cup vegetable broth (or chicken broth, if not vegan)

-One and a half tablespoons cornstarch

-Two cloves garlic, minced

-Half teaspoon ground black pepper

-Half teaspoon salt (or to taste)

-One medium-sized sweet potato, peeled and sliced into thin rounds.

You can also use canned if you have some on hand! Just make sure they're in water or brine instead of syrup.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Prepares a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.

In a large pot, combine milk and broth together over medium heat until it just comes to a boil (make sure you keep an eye on it so that it doesn't overflow).

While the milk mixture is heating up in the saucepan, mix together cornstarch with about two tablespoons of cold water in a small bowl. Stir until it's smooth and there are no lumps (it should be the consistency of pancake batter).

When your milk mixture comes to a boil, add in cornstarch slurry while stirring constantly until thickened. Add in garlic, black pepper, and salt.

Pour half of this sauce into the baking dish, top with sweet potato rounds in one layer, then pour the rest of the sauce over the top. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until potatoes are tender and slightly golden brown on top. Serve warm!
