Sweet potato recipes

Sweet potato recipes for a naturally sweet dinner – our chefs pick the ingredients and deliver them to your door.


Sweet potato bakes best in the oven at 200°C for about 25–35 minutes when cubed, or 45–60 minutes whole. Its natural sweetness comes out even more when roasted, and it works in both savoury and slightly sweet dishes.

Popular ways to serve it include stuffed baked sweet potato, sweet potato mash as a side, and sweet potato with black beans seasoned with chilli and lime. You can leave the skin on when cooking, since it softens during cooking and adds extra fibre to the dish.

Sweet potato also works as a substitute for regular potato in bakes and soups, giving the dish a naturally sweeter taste and an orange colour. Cubed sweet potato holds its shape better than regular potato cubes, which makes it a good choice for stews.

In Ruokaboksi's sweet potato recipes it's often paired with legumes or meat for a complete meal, with all the ingredients delivered pre-weighed to your door.
