Did you know that sweet potatoes can have orange, yellow, or purple flesh? In America what we usually refer to as an orange yam is actually a sweet potato. The deeper the orange color, the more beta-carotene. The flesh of the orange sweet potato has more beta-carotene than carrots.

A true yam grows in tropical climates, they have a rough, sometimes hairy skin that is difficult to peel and they arerarely seen in America. Those tropical yams are actually poisonous if eaten raw but are safe when cooked.

The secret to success is all in the technique. After you cook the flatbread, stack them on top of each other and cover them with a kitchen towel. That will trap in the heat and “steam” them as they cool down. This is the critical step to keeping the flatbread soft and flexible. Don’t skip this step.

Since it is so soft, they are perfect for sandwich wraps. If you roll them very thin, you can use them as a tortilla. You can serve them with stews and curry to use them as a dipping bread.

Sweet potatoes are fat-free and if you cook the flatbread on a non-stick skillet, you can make these with virtually no added fat. We used this16 inch nonstick electric skillet and cooked two at a time to make quick work of finishing them. However, you don’t have to cook them all at once.

The dough keeps well for 4 to 5 days in the fridge. Just seal it in an airtight bag so it doesn’t dry out and then you can make fresh sweet potato flatbreads throughout the week.

Ingredients Sweet Potato Flatbread Recipe By Zubaida Isah

If you use gluten-free flour, it will make them more delicate and difficult to work with and the dough will tear easily as you transfer it to the skillet.

To solve that problem we slid one of these flexible cutting matsunder the flatbread and transferred them directly to the skillet completely intact. This technique works great with other flours that are lower in gluten as well, like spelt, einkorn, and whole wheat.

We made this flatbread by combining flour, salt, and hot mashed sweet potatoes. There is enough moisture in the sweet potato that additional water is not needed. The three ingredients are stirred together and divided into a log and cut into equal sections.

Each section is shaped into a small ball and rolled thinly, then cooked in a dry skillet for a minute, flipped and cooked another minute and BOOM! It is done! Watch the video to see how easy it is to make.

You can re-heat the flatbread in the microwave or on the stove top. Make sure you don’t over-cook them when it is time to re-heat or they will get tough and hard.

To re-heat them in the microwave, wrap them in a towel and zap them for a few seconds at a time. The microwave has a tendency to get bread products tough if you cook them too long so watch them carefully. You can even get the towel slightly damp which will hold in some steam and help keep them soft as you re-heat them.

The Most Amazing Sweet Potato Tortilla Flatbread

If I want a bit thicker flatbread can I just not roll them as flat and bake cook for a little longer?

Yes, you can make them thicker and cook them a bit longer but you will want to turn the heat down a bit or the outside will burn before the inside finishes cooking.

I have jars full of dehydrated and powdered sweet potatoes. How easy it will be to add a bit of hot water to reconstitute them, add the flour and salt, and make these quickly! I am growing two dozen sweet potato plants and expect a harvest of a couple hundred potatoes this fall to dehydrate and powder. Sweet indeed! Thank you!

Vegan Sweet Potato Tortillas

@Barbara, not sure you’ll see this but tell me more about your dehydrated and predated sweet potatoes please! Did you make them yourself and what do you cook with them?

I haven't tried this with chickpea flour. I would expect chickpea flour to make the bread pretty difficult to work with and it will absorb more moisture than regular flour. If you try it then roll the dough out onto some parchment paper and use the paper to transfer the flatbread dough to the skillet. That will prevent it from tearing when you transfer it.

I’ve made this several times and it’s really good!!!! Now I’m wondering if I can make them with almond flour instead of wheat flour?!

Sweet Potato Flatbread Or Whole Wheat Chapati

Making a vegan and gluten free flatbread doesn’t have to be difficult! In fact, it’s quite simple to make and even more fun to eat. The recipe gets the structure from the sweet potato and the tapioca starch that turn it into a pillow-y dough that turns into the softest flatbread after cooking.

You’ll love this recipe even more when you find out how simple it is to make. Simply start with some left-over sweet potatoes, add your gluten free flour of choice, tapioca starch, salt, and baking powder. Combine and let rest for 10 minutes. Press it out between two sheets of parchment and cook it up on either a cast iron skillet on the stove or an electric griddle - both work fantastically!

Why do I use sweet potatoes and not regular potatoes? Well, you can use potatoes if you like! The normal potato will result in a dough that is a little easier to work with, but the end flatbread won’t be as fluffy as the sweet potato version. Also, as the name implies, the sweet potato flatbread will be, well, sweeter!

Sweet Potato Flatbread (grain Free, Vegan)

The role of a sweet potato (or a potato) in gluten free bread is twofold: One is that it helps to retain moisture into the bread. The starch of potatoes attract and hold more moisture in the dough, making the dough softer and easier to work with. Two, potatoes help with the final crumb of gluten free dough, since they replace the gluten strings and allow for a lighter, and more delicate structure of your final baked good.

In this recipe, the sweet potato helps to give structure to the flatbread, while binding it together, negating the need for an egg.

Basically, adding a bit of sweet potato to your gluten free baking is going to help you become a better gluten free baker!

Sweet Potato Flatbread

Nightshades are a group of vegetables that contain two chemicals in their structure, alkaloids and saponin, that cause gastrointestinal upset in some people. For some reason, nightshade intolerances are higher in people with gluten and dairy allergies and intolerances. It can be difficult to diagnose since the symptoms overlap so much. But a good way to start your investigation into your health is to see how you feel after eating them if you’ve been gluten and dairy free for some time!

Pepper, the kind you sprinkle on your food at dinner, is not considered a nightshade so you are free to use that as much as you want!
