Home cooking Sweet Potato in the oven (30 Aug 2014)


Simple & easy sweet potato

Cooking sweet potato in the oven is so easy even I can do it. Baking it will make it soft and sweet and can then be seasoned as you like.

Cooking instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 200°C or around 400°F
2. Scrub and wash the sweet potato skin with water to remove any dirt
3. Pierce the skin with a fork in several spots all over
4. Place sweet potatoes on a tray or rack with foil or baking paper underneath to catch any drippings
5. Bake in the oven for about 60 minutes depending on size
6. Take out, cut in half and season with salt, pepper, butter or your favourite herbs and spices
7. The sweet potato should be soft enough to squash easily with a fork and scrap away from the skin if preferred
8. Enjoy!

Wash and scrub skin then poke with a fork all over before placing on a tray
Bake for 60 minutes at 200°C or around 400°F
Cut the cooked sweet potato in half and season or simply mash up with a fork

Baked sweet potato is one of my favourite treats - perhaps stemming from when I was studying in Shanghai in winter, and you could buy whole roasted sweet potatoes from streetside hawkers who cooked them in big steel drums!
