Description

Need a quick, healthy side or a fast lunch base? Microwave sweet potatoes are your go-to solution. Ready in minutes, they come out soft, fluffy, and perfect for topping with butter, cinnamon, or savory fillings.

Ingredients

Scale

1 medium sweet potato

Optional: butter, salt, pepper, cinnamon, or toppings of choice

Instructions

Wash and scrub the sweet potato thoroughly.

Pierce it 4–5 times with a fork to allow steam to escape.

Place on a microwave-safe plate and microwave on high for 5–7 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Check for doneness: it should be soft when squeezed. If not, microwave in 30-second increments until tender.

Let cool slightly, slice open, and fluff the inside with a fork. Add your favorite toppings.
