How to roast sweet potatoes in the oven

  1. We preheat the oven above and below to about 200ºC.
  2. We wash the sweet potatoes well to remove any dirt they may have. We dry them and with a fork we make little holes to let the steam escape when we roast them in the oven and prevent them from spoiling.
  3. We take baking paper and put it on the tray where we will bake the sweet potatoes. Once the oven is hot, we introduce the tray with the sweet potatoes.
  4. We let it cook for approximately one hour. The exact time will depend on the size of the sweet potato and the type of oven used. We can check the cooking status by sticking a fork or toothpick into it. If it goes in easily it means it's done.
  5. Once they are soft, we take the sweet potatoes out of the oven and let them cool a little in a kitchen container. This step is important, since like the potato, the sweet potato stores heat very well inside.
  6. Once they have cooled a little (don't let them cool too much as they are better hot) we can eat them.

I started cosmorecipes in 2020 during the time we were cooped up at home. Having so much free time I spent a lot of time in the kitchen trying different dishes. So I decided to mix cooking with my other great passion: web programming. That's why I decided to open this blog where I post the different recipes that I'm cooking.
