The Best And Quickest Baked Sweet Potatoes Food

8-MINUTE SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice sweet potatoes slightly less than 1/4 inch thick and leave the skin on.
• Heat a large skillet (we prefer cast iron) over medium-high heat. Once hot, reduce heat to medium and add oil to pan. Swirl to coat.
• Add sweet potatoes in an even layer, sprinkle with salt (optional), and cover. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the underside is golden brown. Then flip and cover again. Reduce heat slightly if cooking too quickly. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are golden brown on both sides and fork tender.
• Enjoy as is! We love these as part of breakfast bowls, with hummus, or just drizzled with tahini!
• Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 2-3 days. Not freezer friendly. Reheat on the stovetop over medium heat for best results.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a wire rack inside the baking sheet.
• Prick each of the sweet potatoes 5 times with a fork and place on top of the prepared rack, keeping space between potatoes to allow heat to circulate. Bake the sweet potatoes until a paring knife can easily go through without resistance, about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and let the potatoes rest inside for 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cut each potato in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper and top with butter if using.

THE BEST AND QUICKEST BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400F.
• Cut the sweet potatoes in half, lengthwise, with a sharp knife. Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Drizzle the potatoes with one tablespoon of oil, then rub the oil on the flesh of each potato. Sprinkle each potato with just a pinch of salt.
• Flip the potatoes over, flesh-side down on the baking sheet. Some oil will spill over on the sheet pan--that's normal and okay.
• Bake the sweet potatoes, uncovered, for 30-35 minutes, until the skins begin to look shriveled and soft. Remove the potatoes from the oven.
• The baked sweet potatoes should be slightly brown and caramelized on the top of the flesh and soft throughout the potato. Enjoy the potatoes warm (I love to add a tablespoon of butter and cinnamon, or see other ideas in the post above), or place them in an air-tight container in the fridge to enjoy later in the week.

THE BEST SWEET POTATOES EVER

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees (F), and butter an 8x8 glass baking dish.
• Drain sweet potatoes and set aside.
• In medium sauce pan over low heat, combine butter, 2 cups marshmallows, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir frequently to prevent sticking, until the marshmallows are melted (about 5 minutes).
• Stir sweet potatoes into the marshmallow mixture, and pour into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake about 15 minutes.
• Remove pan from oven, sprinkle the reserved 1 cup of marshmallows over the top, and return to the oven for about 5 minutes, or until the marshmallows are puffed and golden.
