Roasted Sweet Potato Ingredients
- 12 pumpkin sweet potatoes (known for their sweetness)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, thoroughly wash the fresh pumpkin sweet potatoes under running water. You might want to use a brush to gently scrub away any dirt for a really clean result.
Step 2
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). It’s important to let the oven reach the correct temperature before adding the sweet potatoes so they cook evenly throughout.
Step 3
Place the washed sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet and put them into the preheated 180°C oven. Roast for approximately 20 minutes. This initial roasting will start to soften the sweet potatoes.
Step 4
After 20 minutes, increase the oven temperature to 200°C (400°F). Now, carefully flip the sweet potatoes over to their other side. This ensures that all surfaces will brown and cook evenly.
Step 5
Continue roasting at 200°C for another 45 minutes. To ensure even cooking, it’s a good idea to flip them again halfway through this second roasting period, around the 25-30 minute mark. They are ready when they are golden brown and yield softly when gently pressed.
Step 6
Enjoy your freshly roasted sweet potatoes! Carefully remove them from the oven, let them cool slightly, and savor their incredibly sweet and satisfying flavor. They are like nature’s candy!
