🍠What’s So Great About This Recipe
Microwaving sweet potatoes is without a doubt the fastest, easiest way to get a beautifully cooked sweet potato with barely any effort. The texture of microwave sweet potatoes is absolutely perfect. Tender and fluffy, melts-in-your-mouth, perfect. You don’t need any special gadgets or attachments to microwave a sweet potato. Some people like to use a microwave rack or potato holder, but it’s really not necessary. We’ll flip the potatoes over halfway through the cook time to avoid any hard spots, so they cook evenly all the way around. Sweet potatoes are super versatile. This is a fantastic base to build off of, and you can have a different sweet potato every time. We kept the toppings simple here, with just a little salt, pepper, and butter. Rosemary and thyme would be great savory options, too. Sweet potatoes are also incredible with a little cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, and browned butter. For an even sweeter potato, add a little honey or maple syrup. You could also stuff the sweet potato with protein and toppings, like in our Healthy Buffalo Chicken Stuffed Sweet Potatoes recipe.
Sweet potatoes can be a snap to cook in the microwave once you know how to do it correctly! If you’ve got questions about cooking sweet potatoes, we’ve got the answers, from “how long do I cook it?” to “can I eat the skin?”
