Have you ever eaten a roasted sweet potato?It's a very simple yet delicious dessert that only requires some sweet potatoes and an oven to make. The secret of roasting flowing sweet potatoes is to choose the right sweet potato variety and master the time and temperature of roasting. Next, I will introduce to you the methods and precautions of roasting flowing sweet potatoes.
First of all, we want to choose a sweet potato variety that is suitable for roasting. Generally speaking, roasted sweet potatoes should be made with thin skin and tender flesh, such as Japanese sweet potatoes, purple potatoes or sweet potatoes. These sweet potatoes are high in sugar, soft and glutinous in taste, and they are best roasted. We need to choose sweet potatoes that are evenly shaped, moderately sized, and free of moths or scars, so as to ensure the uniformity and aesthetics of roasting.
Secondly, we need to wash the sweet potatoes and make a few small cuts on the skin with a knife, so that the sweet potatoes can release water and sugar during the roasting process, increasing the aroma and sweetness. Then, we wrap the sweet potatoes in tin foil, which will keep the sweet potatoes hydrated, prevent the skin from drying out, and also avoid other flavors in the oven. We need to put the wrapped sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and spread them out flat, not stacked, so that the heat distribution is guaranteed.
Next, we preheat the oven to 200 degrees, then place the baking tray in the middle of the oven and bake for about 40 minutes. This time and temperature is based on the size of the sweet potato and the performance of the oven, and we have to adjust it according to the actual situation. We can use a toothpick or fork to insert the center of the sweet potato, and if it feels easy to penetrate, it means that the sweet potato is ripe and ready to be removed. If there is still resistance, it means that the sweet potatoes have not been roasted well and need to be roasted for a while.
Finally, we remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the foil, peel off the skin while they are hot, cut them into small pieces, and place them on a plate. At this time, you can see how soft and juicy the inside of the sweet potato is, how attractive the sugar juice is, and how intoxicating the aroma is. You can enjoy it as is, or you can serve it with some cream, honey, sesame seeds or nuts for added taste and nutrition. Whether it's for breakfast, afternoon tea, or dessert, roasted sweet potatoes are a great choice that is both delicious and healthy enough to keep you taking one bite after another.
