Sweet potato as a side dish

[Anonymous]

How do you normally cook it? I love it cubed and roasted with olive oil and salt, but always end burning the edges somehow

I do a baked sweet potato. The skin is amazing with a little butter.

Or sweet potato fries.

a little caramelization is a good thing. I would try the middle rack and stir midway through, e.g.,:

Pureed is nice too.

Go to Wegmans for the best sweet potato side dish ever. This recommendation comes from an avowed sweet potato hater.

I cut it into long slices with skin still on, toss with olive oil, some salt, and some seasoning -- either five spice powder, or else cinnamon and red pepper flakes -- and bake in the oven until done. The thinner pieces get a bit charred but we like them that way. If you don't, just cook it for less time. 15 mins total, turning once, at 350 ought to cook them through without burning at all. We usually leave them in for 25 minutes to get dark edges.

We chop into even pieces, toss with olive oil, salt and pepper, a bit of honey and red pepper (just a bit). Roast at 350 until it's done, usually 45 mins. Tossing halfway through is key to carmelizing and not burning

Sweet potato fries here. Except for one kid who likes half a baked sweet potato, with melted butter and a tiny pinch of brown sugar.

Makes a great curried coconut soup-warm and filling!

I make them just as you would regular mashed potatoes. I like them better than white potatoes.

I tend either to roast them or to mash them with ginger.
