This recipe for Sweet Potato Jalapeño Poppers is super easy to make and a fabulous idea for a quick appetizer that will wow your guests.

The jalapeños are stuffed with a spicy sweet potato hash made with soy chorizo, onions and Mexican spices and then topped with cheddar and jack cheeses.

I like traditional jalapeño poppers stuffed with cheddar or cream cheese. Still, it is nice to have a change and include other flavors to make a traditional football recipe more interesting and offer something new to your guests.

And this recipe for sweet potato jalapeño poppers is a great addition to your party menu.

Unfortunately, my team didn’t make it this year to the big game, but that is not an excuse not to celebrate and eat yummy dishes, plus we love to party and cook delicious snacks like these sweet potato jalapeño poppers.

The sweetness of the sweet potatoes goes well with the smoky and spicy flavors of the soy chorizo and the spices. If you want to use traditional pork chorizo in this recipe you can do, the flavor profile will be almost the same.

Did you know that sweet potatoes are low in carbs, high in vitamins and minerals and designated to be a superfood. There are many varieties of sweet potato, with different colors, flavors and textures, you can also find them purple color.

I always look for small sweet potatoes to easily clean and chop. For this recipe, I am also using jalapeños from my Mexican vegetable garden, still producing peppers and eggplants despite the winter.

I have integrated sweet potatoes into many of my recipes and the sweet potato jalapeño poppers came about because I had some left over spicy sweet potatos hash I made for breakfast. You know, in my kitchen there’s never waste. I always use and repurpose any leftovers to create other delicious dishes.

So next time you prepare sweet potatoes, think of preparing a double batch. And discover this tasty sweet potato jalapeño poppers recipe I am considering for your appetizer menu.

Let the best flavor be the winner on your table!
