Labor Day Sweets
The end of summer can be sad for some, but Labor Day festivities are something everyone can look forward to. Labor Day weekend is all about enjoying the last few days of summer, soaking in the sunshine and enjoying great food with great friends. That’s why we are sharing our favorite ways to entertain with sweetpotatoes.
One of the best things about serving sweetpotatoes to your guests are that they are versatile – you can cook them in hundreds of unique ways, they appeal to just about everyone, young, old, vegan, meat-eater, and they are absolutely delicious. You can create light, healthy appetizers or cheesy, rich and indulgent bites for your guests. Sweetpotatoes are the perfect food to experiment with at your Labor Day festivities!
Plus, who doesn’t love going to a party and snacking on tasty bite-sized appetizers? For traditional American flavors, try Belly Rumbles’ cheesy and savory Baked Sweetpotato and Polenta Bites or enjoy Mediterranean flavors with Gourmantine’s unique and hearty Roasted Sweetpotato Hummus as a dip for veggies or crackers. If you enjoy savory Asian food, check out Choosing Raw’s delicious and healthy Nori Rolls with Miso Sweetpotato Mash, Kimchee and Massaged Kale.
If you are having a barbecue, why not make sweetpotatoes the main event? Everyone loves burgers, so Bowl of Delicious’s Sweetpotato Black Bean Veggie Burger is sure to please even the most meat-loving guests at the party. Let your guests choose from a variety of tasty toppings, like guacamole, salsa, chipotle mayo and sweet mustard, or keep it classic with lettuce, tomato, onion and ketchup.
So, this Labor Day weekend, don’t let the end of summer get you down. Look forward to a tasty opportunity to include sweetpotato treats into your festivities!
