How to bake sweet potatoes

In our daily diet, sweet potatoes are a very common ingredient for us. Sweet potatoes contain a lot of nutrients and a variety of dietary fibers.

Roasted sweet potatoes taste very sweet and fragrant.

Roasted sweet potato method

1. Bake sweet potatoes in the microwave

(1) When choosing sweet potatoes, we choose small, slender sweet potatoes, preferably those grown in red soil, because it seems that baked sweet potatoes do not taste very good. After selecting the sweet potato, wash it, then wrap it with a piece of kitchen towel, rinse it with cold water, and squeeze out the excess water;

(2) Then put it in the microwave and bake it on high heat for about 6 minutes, then turn it over and continue to bake it on high heat for about 6 minutes;

(3) Remove the paper towel from the surface of the sweet potato, bake it on high heat for 3 minutes, then turn it over and bake it on high heat for another 3 minutes;

In this way, the fragrant sweet potatoes are baked. Using a microwave to bake small sweet potatoes is simple and quick, and it only takes 18 minutes. We wrapped the sweet potatoes with soaked paper towels at the beginning to prevent dehydration and prevent the surface of the sweet potatoes from being too dry and the inside from being difficult to cook. We removed the paper towels later to make the surface of the already cooked sweet potatoes burnt, which will taste better.

2. Oven-baked sweet potatoes

(1) Wash the sweet potatoes first. If the sweet potatoes are too big, cut them into two pieces so that they are easier to bake.

(2) Prepare the oven, put tin foil on the baking tray, put the prepared sweet potatoes in, adjust the temperature and time, the temperature is 200 degrees, the time is about one hour;

When baking, we can also bake at a high temperature for half an hour at the beginning, and then lower the temperature for another half an hour. There is no specific restriction.

3. Bake sweet potatoes in a rice cooker

(1) First, select a few sweet potatoes of similar size, then wash them and use a toothpick to poke a few small holes in the sweet potatoes to better control water. Prepare the rice cooker and clean it. After the water in the rice cooker is drained, brush a little oil on the bottom of the pot and apply the oil evenly to leave a thin layer.

(2) Then put the sweet potatoes in the rice cooker one by one, evenly arranged, and then adjust the rice cooker mode to the clay pot rice function and start cooking the sweet potatoes. When the sweet potatoes are cooked to keep warm, we use chopsticks to poke the thicker part of the sweet potatoes to see if they are cooked. If the sweet potatoes are soft and can be easily pierced through, then the sweet potatoes are cooked and ready to eat;
