The celebrity chef shared his recipe for whipped sweet potatoes with Food Network, and it strikes the ultimate balance between sweet and savory. His trick is to counteract the typical seasonings used on sweet potatoes, like brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg, with bay leaves. In a video posted with the recipe, he says, "The bay leaf gives it sort of a slight savory flavor. It's gonna be really nice." Florence adds the flavor of the bay leaves by infusing them in warm cream, which he adds to soft baked sweet potatoes before pureeing them. He discards the leaves once the cream is ready, and then adds some other aromatics to complement the flavors further.

Coconut sugar can transform the twice-baked sweet potato into a dessert, adding an earthy taste and a caramelized crust that surprises and delights the palate.

Roasted sweet potatoes, green beans, and bell pepper combine with a slightly spicy Gochujang peanut dressing and crisp cabbage in this hearty vegan salad.

One of my favorite things about this recipe is that I can control the ingredients. I'm using high-quality avocado oil along with lime and spices for this wholesome snack, and avoiding additives and preservatives found in store-bought chips.
