You can also freeze tomato paste in ice cube trays. That way you can buy it in the bigger tins and it won’t get moldy! Less packaging- longer “shelf”life 😇

Also sweet potato and zucchini tacos are great.
1cm dice veg, par boil. Finish off in a frying pan with taco spices and a small amount of water.
Put in taco of choice on top of seasonal greens and top with any sour cream, cheese, avocado, salsa or red onion.

Do you ever stop and take in the beauty where you live? I'm in America...specifically and unfortunately in Florida....and I cannot imagine my everyday surroundings being so walkable and beautiful. If I walk for 30 minutes here, I am still nowhere near a store. Our architecture is flimsy and modern in the most boring sense. The buildings you filmed were incredible! I know it would not fix all my issues to be there, but having that as my surroundings everyday would be so healing and fresh.

I roast chopped sweet potatoes with halved brussel sprouts, granny smith (green) apples, tosses with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt & pepper.

Sweet potato and chick pea curry is simply delicious!

One of the parts of European living I miss most is taking my basket when I go to Netto to go shopping. It was a beautiful 20 min walk and just so peaceful. I do take it when I go to the farmers markets here but it's just not the same as Bavaria.

The world would be so much more beautiful if more people cared in the same way.

I recently tried Gnocchi made of sweet potatos and they were amazing <3

Curried sweet potato and pumpkin soup is the bomb.
Bonus points if you cook it in a crockpot as it adds a depth of flavour and is more energy efficient.

Thank you for sharing and being real 😊
You can bake sweet potatoes in cubes with cinnamon and add on vanilla yogurt and blueberries. So delicious. If small sweet potatoes like yours, you can bake them whole and fill it with the same things 😋

Love from Johanne, Norway 🇳🇴

I would wash sweet potatoes and slice them and put in the oven with potatoes, carrots and onions (+oil, salt and pepper). First day I would serve them as a side dish. After that I would make smooth soup out of them. Maybe add some curry paste in soup and you have food for few days more.

Jerusalem artichokes are delicious cut into pieces and roasted with a bit of olive oil.

I'm feeling very grateful that I can buy all of the veg you showed unpackaged in the supermarket in my small Australian town, as well as Barilla pasta in cardboard. Tofu, on the other hand, always in plastic, but I can't live without it.

Roasted sweet potatoes with a tahini dressing! Also add black beans. I recently bought sweet potato fingerlings at the farmer's market. I had never seen those before...

Laying stuff out like that is called "knolling" ! And it is kinda an art form. There's a subreddit for knolling appreciation

Sweet potato idea--peel and slice into whatever shape you prefer--either round slices or cubes, doesn't matter. Coat with some extra virgin olive oil, add some salt, pepper, garlic powder, or any other spices you love and roast them in the oven. Goes really well with a dollop of sour cream. I stocked up on produce at my local farmers market this past weekend, I did get busy and chop up some of the stuff that I knew I wouldn't use up before they went bad (peppers, onions) to stick in the freezer.

My mom cooks sweet potatoes in the oven. She tops them with butter, vegan in your case, cinnamon, & sugar. 😊

I love making a fried fritter out of shredded sweet potato, shallot, dill, flour, and egg/egg substitute. Salt the sweet potatoes and squeeze the excess moisture out before mixing with your other ingredients to make super crispy fritters.

There’s sweet potato, chard and peanut stew on the BBC goodfood site which I love (and you can swap out any leafy green for the chard.) I also like the japanese thing where you simmer slices of sweet potato in water, lemon and sugar as a sweet snack.
