Ingredients:

  • 1 medium sweet potato (approx. 200-250g)
  • Pinch of sea salt (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon butter, melted (optional)
  • Drizzle of maple syrup (optional)
  • Sprinkle of cinnamon (optional)
  • Dollop of Greek yogurt (optional)
  • Everything Bagel Seasoning (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Wash the sweet potato thoroughly.
  2. Using a fork or knife, pierce the sweet potato multiple times all over (6-8 pokes).
  3. Place the sweet potato on a microwave-safe plate. Microwave on high for 5-10 minutes, checking for doneness after 5 minutes. Cooking time depends on the size and the microwave power. Find your ideal microwave sweet potato time.
  4. The sweet potato is done when it's easily pierced with a fork or knife and feels soft when gently squeezed. If it's still firm, continue microwaving in 1-minute intervals until done.
  5. Let the sweet potato cool slightly before handling.
  6. Cut the sweet potato open lengthwise. Fluff the flesh with a fork. Add your favorite toppings and tuck in!
