FAQ:
Can I use frozen sweet potatoes for these recipes?
It’s best to use fresh sweet potatoes for these recipes for the best flavor and texture. Frozen sweet potatoes may release excess moisture during cooking, which could affect the final dish.
Can I make these recipes ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the sweet potato fries and store them in the fridge until ready to bake. Gnocchi dough can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen. The taco filling can also be prepared and stored in an airtight container in the fridge.
How can I make sweet potato fries extra crispy?
For extra crispiness, make sure to cut the fries evenly, coat them well with oil, and ensure they are spread in a single layer on the baking sheet with space between each piece.
What can I use instead of black beans in the tacos?
You can substitute the black beans with other beans like pinto or kidney beans, or even roasted chickpeas for a crunchy texture.
