Get creative this Halloween with our ghoulishly good selection of spooky sweetpotato treats. They are perfect if you are hosting and putting on a spread, or just for entertaining little ones. Either way, we’ve got you covered! Our fun and creative Halloween recipes are guaranteed to taste as amazing as they look.
Sweetpotato Spider Cookies
If you’re looking for a fun, hands-on activity to share with the kids, look no further than these charmingly spooky sweetpotato spider cookies. The cookies have their incredible texture from incorporating baked sweetpotatoes directly into the dough. This simple addition is a game-changer for any cookie recipe because the sweetpotatoes are naturally sweet, reducing the need for extra sugar, and they’re brilliant at holding moisture, which guarantees a soft, chewy cookie. They’re a sweet, wholesome base that’s perfect for decorating with chocolate ‘spider’ bodies and legs.
Roasted Sweetpotato Ghosts
Our roasted sweetpotato ghosts are so simple and incredibly easy to make, but still give that wow factor. Simply slice your sweetpotatoes, use a small cookie cutter (or a knife) to craft your ghostly outlines and faces, and roast them for about 30 minutes. As they bake, the edges caramelise beautifully. They are the perfect, wholesome side dish to pair with almost anything. They’re a healthy and vibrant way to complete your Halloween dinner spread.
Sweetpotato Halloween Lollies
Our sweetpotato Halloween lollies are the perfect treat for engaging little ones, as they transform from simple balls of dough into spooky delights. The secret to their rich, fudgy texture lies in the inclusion of baked sweetpotatoes. They work so well in brownie recipes because they provide incredible moisture and natural sweetness, cutting down on the need for extra sugars. This means you get a spooky sweet treat packed with fibre and vitamins!
Sweetpotato Mummy Pie
If you are looking for a Halloween dish that’s sure to impress your guests? Our sweetpotato mummy pie delivers on both looks and flavour! This savoury pie is wrapped in an eye-catching pastry lattice that perfectly captures the spooky, bandaged look of a mummy, making it a great centrepiece for your party table. The filling consists of creamy sweetpotato combined with rich pancetta, fragrant thyme and garlic, sliced mushrooms, and chopped tomatoes. This dish is pure comfort food, what’s not to love?
Sweetpotato Vegetarian Sausage Roll
Looking for another hearty savoury treat to add to your spooky selection? Our sweetpotato vegetarian sausage roll is a fantastic choice that’s fun, delicious, and entirely meat-free. We’ve turned a classic handheld pastry into a terrifyingly tasty treat by shaping the puff pastry into a ghoulish hand. The vegetarian filling is rich and flavourful, but the real magic is the decoration. We use peeled, cooked sweetpotato cut into sticks to create the bones of the hand. Simply lay the sweetpotato sticks onto the savoury filling before sealing the pastry.
