Skillet sweet potatoes in a creamy vegan sauce with fresh veggies

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This Loaded Skillet Sweet Potatoes with Tuscan flavors is the perfect one pot meals for any family. The recipe is vegan and healthy, yet, its very filling and hearty. I am always looking for family fresh meals, so, I used all fresh vegetables in this recipe and the Italian herbs bring out their flavors.

I love my skillet recipes!

I can pack so much in one pot meals which will cook all the ingredients evenly. One of my all time favorite one pan meals is my Vegan Mexican Gnocchi. Its a breeze to make and a much quicker clean up process.

There is a special comfort food feeling when devouring a recipe made in a skillet, isn’t it?

Nonstick Covered Fry Pan vs Cast Iron Skillet?

So, I made this recipe 3 different times. The first time, I made it in a casserole dish and put it in the oven to cook by itself. I wasn’t pleased with the results, so, I decided to make it in a covered fry pan. It came out really good and I photographed the recipe immediately. It was all set to be posted, when an idea came to me. I made it a third time and this time, I used a cast iron skillet.

It was very delicious and the skillet was a time saver. However, the images didn’t come out too well, so, I ended up using the images of the fry pan. The skillet allowed me to put the whole pan in the oven and let it cook by itself. The fry pan allowed me to see the whole cooking process and also made my kitchen have a delicious aroma.

Bottom line is that you can go with the pan you have on hand and it will be delicious either way.

These Cast Iron Skillet sweet potatoes are just too irresistible. I used baby sweet potatoes because they fit better in this skillet and they cook faster.

Plus, they are so cute!

These baby sweet potatoes also make delicious jalapeno appetizers.

The baby sweet potato is loaded with fresh veggies like zucchini, bell peppers, mushrooms and carambola! I had half of a carambola left over after I made some burritos (recipe coming soon) and didn’t want them to go to waste. So, I cut them into small pieces and added them to this recipe. If you don’t have them, its ok to skip them in this recipe.

The baby sweet potatoes taste better when you bake them separately. I used my 5 tips on how to bake the perfect sweet potato to bake them and they turned out to be delicious. The only difference is to bake them for only 30 minutes since they are the baby sweet potatoes.

I have a beautiful vegan loaded sweet potato recipe that is equally delicious. I like it for a light lunch recipe or as a delicious side meal.
