It seems like sweet potatoes are one of the top food choices. Does anyone microwave them? I’ve always cooked them the “old fashion” way in the over 400 degrees F for 1 hour. Looking for some other cooking options.

Boil and Bake! Chop into chunks Par boil them (with a bit of vege stock too) After straining them, Toss in a little oil, salt pepper and garlic powder. Bake around 230C for 15ish mins? Till crispy or Whatever looks good for you :ok_hand: This way they’re still very soft and easier to digest. I …

I microwave mainly because I take one to the office for lunch along with carrot, broccoli and kale. I slice mine, add a small amount of water and nuke for about 6 mins, adding other veg throughout. Work great but obviously not as nice as baked with oil and spices.

Steaming them is a great, quick option as well. I cube it in to 1" cubes and fill the top of a steamer pot. It’ll take about 10-15 minutes to steam and they’re ready to eat. I either put some olive oil or butter on top for a little fat and fill nearly half the plate. Great way to quickly bulk co…

If the family is having french fries I’d slice one up and cook with the fries. Very good this way. Lately I have been cooking 5 sweet potatoes in the oven @425f for 1 hou…

I microwave them, because apparently the GI of a sweet potato skyrockets when you roast it.

Microwave is quick, easy, and effective. Nuke them whole and then top them with a mixture of black beans, canned chopped tomatoes, salt, pepper, cumin, and sour cream. Awesome. As a side I like to slice them into 1/2" rounds coat them with olive oil, season with salt and pepper and broil in the ov…
