Notes

  • Sweet potatoes: Red-skinned and orange-fleshed ones. They differ from yams, which have bark-like brown skin and starchy flesh. Choosing sweet potatoes of uniform size helps ensure even cooking.
  • Servings: 9 oz/ 250 g sweet potatoes are enough for one or two as a main dish or 2-3 as a side dish. The nutrition is calculated for 2 servings.
  • Seasoning: If using cinnamon, add it to taste. Read the blog post for more seasoning ideas.
