50+ Sweet Potato Recipes for Thanksgiving and Beyond

The sweet potato is one of the hallmarks of modern Thanksgiving meals. Pie is what automatically comes to mind (like Grandbaby Cakes' Sweet Potato Chess Pie, pictured above and linked below) but there's more you can do with this versatile root. Here is a roundup of over 50 sweet potato recipes from side dishes to desserts to appetizers to inspire your Turkey Day spread, use up your leftovers, or just add some sweet potato love to your everyday routine. Many of these recipes are vegan, gluten-free, and/or paleo, so I've noted that for your easy reference. There are a few of my best recipes as well as yummy contributions from around the world and we're starting with dessert first. 🙂
