Healthy Sweet Potato Appetizers for the Holidays 

Healthy Sweet Potato Appetizers for the Holidays 

The holidays are literally around the corner, which means lots of food, fun, and family gatherings! As a Registered Dietitian, I try to keep my recipes delicious and nutritious! This can be a little tough during the holiday season, but I’m here to show you two healthy, easy appetizer recipes that includes everyone’s favorite Fall veggie… sweet potatoes!!

 

The first appetizer is my Honey Cream Cheese & Pecan Sweet Potato Rounds! This recipe is a great appetizer to satisfy any sweet tooth without packing on the calories! I used reduced fat cream cheese and no added sugar; only natural honey for sweetness! To add an element of freshness, I topped these rounds with fresh mint for the finishing touch! Check out the full recipe below!

Honey Cream Cheese & Pecan Sweet Potato Rounds

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup whipped cream cheese, reduced fat
  • 2 tbsp natural honey
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup pecans, crumbled
  • Optional: fresh mint

 

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Arrange sweet potato rounds on a baking sheet and drizzle with olive oil. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until sweet potatoes are soft.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together cream cheese, honey, and vanilla extract. Top each sweet potato round with about ½ tsp of the cream cheese mixture.
  4. Sprinkle pecans on top and drizzle with honey. If desired, sprinkle a little fresh mint on top!
  5. Enjoy!

The next recipe is my Sweet Potato Turkey Sausage Meatballs. You will be surprised how much flavor is in each meatball! The ingredients are very simple and include plenty of veggies!
