Sweetpotatoes aren’t just for Thanksgiving casseroles and pies anymore. Families across the country enjoy the sweet and savory superfood mashed, baked, grilled, fried, roasted and pureed in everything from salads and soups to fries, chips, baked goods and more – thanks, in large part, to North Carolina farmers.
Growing more than 60% of the total U.S. sweetpotato supply, North Carolina ranks as the No. 1 state in the nation for its production, a statistic that has earned sweetpotatoes the title of official state vegetable. And while they’re easy to find in North Carolina all year round, peak sweetpotato harvest season runs from late August through November, making their flavor synonymous with comforting fall and winter dishes.
Looking for a few new ways to enjoy nutritious North Carolina-grown sweetpotatoes this fall? The following recipes showcase the versatile veggie in four entirely different forms.
