So I can find a lot of recipes online for sweet potato but a lot of them use a ton of sugar. Does anyone have any good recipes or websites with recipes for low sugar sweet potato recipes?

I love the taste and the health benefits, but I need more variety.

umm this one is with substitute sugar

INGREDIENTS:
3 lbs sweet potatoes or yams (try to find ones that are about the same size)
1½ cups pecan pieces
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
5 Tablespoons butter
1 egg
Sugar substitute

PREPARATION:
1. Poke the sweet potatoes/yams several times with a sharp knife and roast at 400 F. until soft - about 45-60 minutes depending upon the size.

2. Make the topping - pulse 1 cup of the pecans in food processor or blender until it is ground into a meal.

Add about 1/4 cup worth sugar substitute, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, a pinch of salt, and 2 Tablespoons of the butter and process until blended. Mix the rest of the pecan pieces in by hand.
3. Let the sweet potatoes cool for 10-15 minutes. Split them and remove the pulp. Put them into the food processor or blender (no need to wash between topping and sweet potatoes) and process with the rest of the butter (3 Tablespoons). Mashing with a potato masher is also fine, but the texture will be somewhat smoother if you blend/process. Add the rest of the seasonings - (1 teaspoon cinnamon, the nutmeg, salt, and black pepper). The amount of sweetener you add will be up to your taste and the sweetness of the yams. When the seasonings are to your taste, and the egg and blend.

4. Put sweet potato in buttered baking dish and sprinkle pecan topping over the top. Bake at 375 F. until the topping is browned.

Here is one using NO SUGAR AT ALL!

Take your sweet potatoes or yams (either fresh baked, boiled or out of a can) - and whip them with a mixer til mashed and smooth.

Add one can of crushed pineapple chunks (drained)

Add one can of mandarin orange slices (drained

Add a splash of orange juice and mix til smooth.

You can either keep these warmed in a pot on the stove or you can put them in a casserole dish and bake.

You can top with chopped nuts or flaked coconut or just simply eat smooth and fruity. They are so good and so good for you this way!

Enjoy!

brown sugar and butter. cut your sweet potato while raw like you would a white potato. put in a pan and cook or bake with the brown sugar and butter make sure you have enough butter in the pan so the potato doesn't stick. the brown sugar is not as sweet as regular.

Bake them, or microwave them in the skin. Let them cool a bit and remove the skin. Sprinkle them with som cinnomon and enjoy.

They also good if you boil them and add a french salad dressing over them.

Try its delicious. My hubby is diabetic i cannot use sugar.
