How do you cook your sweet potatoes?

Most of the time I just throw them into the microwave. Baking is good as well when you have the time. I usually eat mine with some butter, and on occasion will add a little cinnamon to it.

I also bake mine, I do a little dab of butter and some pepper. They are very yummy:)

I like to grill them... I normally wrap them in aluminum foil and toss them right on the coals... makes the skin crispy. My one buddy swears to leave them unwrapped on the grill grate but I think they dry out too much

I bought some at the store last night and plan on trying out some at home "fries" too!! If you google "Sweet potato fries" you'll get some quick easy ideas.

I made some for the first time this weekend. I just made mashed sweet potatos. to see if my kids would like it. They were pretty good, just needed a little something extra that I didn't add, maybe brown sugar?

all of these sound good...there's a special Fat Loss issue of Oxygen Magazine that's been out for a while (still available) that has some good recipes for them as well as a bunch of recipes for fun toppings for baked sweet potatoes. Yum!

I bake them, then put a little best life margarine and some apple pie spice. I also have a great recipe for a sweet potato salad!

I either bake them whole and put a little brown sugar on them OR cut them into rounds and bake them with rosemary

DELICOUS. I alwasy hated them growing up, now I can't get enough!

Also had this recipe I typed up for a few friends last week:

Successfully threw this together, totally unplanned meal of stuff we had on hand...

3 boneless pork chops (about 1.2 pounds), cut into 1" chunks

2 large sweet potatoes, cut into 1" chunks

1 large granny smith apple, cut into 1" chunks

1 tsp. minced garlic

1 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil

1/4 cup brown sugar

1 tsp. cinnamon

small pat of butter

I used my favorite cast iron skillet to make this....so here goes:

1. Heat pan over medium-high heat, add oil to heat.

2. Add sweet potatoes and toss to cover with oil, continue tossing for a few minutes so they don't get burned.

3. Add pork and garlic and cook until pork is browned on all sides.

4. Add apples and stir it up, cover and allow to cook over medium heat. Didn't really pay attention to time...just checked the pork and potatoes for done ness...

5. When everything is cooked through, add pat of butter, cinnamon and brown sugar, toss to coat everything, cover again and cook for a few more minutes.

We had a little bit of corn with it because I knew that would help convince Gabriel to eat it. He liked it, with the exception of the apples...he probably would have prefered a red delicious apple in it instead of the granny smith. Anyhow, comes in at 410 calories for 4 servings. We really got about 5 servings out of it since we all had some and have enough for two lunches as well.

I actually buy yams over sweet potatoes. My favorite thing to do (and my kids like it too!) is to peel and chop one up into large french fry size pieces. Then I toss them in 2 tsp olive oil and various spices (ex: garlic salt, onion powder, dried parsley. Sometimes I add cinnamon and nutmeg) and broil them for 15-20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes or so. Keep an eye on them, once they start to burn they burn fast!

Super yummy!

Everyone has some really great ideas. I usually just bake them in the oven, but I don't rub anything on them because I don't like to eat the peel. I just wash, pierce, and bake. No need to wrap in foil either. I bake until done and cut up. Put a little butter and cinnamon on them, maybe even a little splash of vanilla extract. YUMMMMM!!!!

Just bake them whole. THey are good either hot or cold. You can add sweetener of you r choice with cinnamon and margarine (if you want to spend the calories). I usually just eat it plain and sometimes with a little salt for salty / sweet flavor. They are really yummy.

I never liked sweet potatoes until my sister got me to actually try them . I actually cheat and buy the ready cut fry ones ( Mann's I do believe ) then put a handful in a bowl , add less then a tsp of olive oil to coat , sprinkle with Sea Salt , toss good then lay on a cookie sheet or the " holey " pizza pan and cook at 425 degrees for about half an hour . I am addicted to these !
I use a small amount of Greek Yogurt mixed with seasoning salt and a dash of sweet chili sauce as a dip .

I bake mine in the oven (microwave dries them out too much) wrapped in tin foil. When done I put some black pepper and sometimes a little spray butter. Or I'll make oven fries with them. Slice with skin on, drizzle with a little olive oil or Pam spray, sprinkle on some seasoning's to taste (be creative with what you like) and bake until cooked. Hope you enjoy.

I never used to eat sweet only white now I only eat sweet - love them...

Sweet Potato Fries. Cut em up, throw some olive oil spray, garlic powder, seasoned salt, put in oven at 300 for 30 mins (last five broil).. yummy fries!!
