Instructions
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Scrub sweet potatoes well and pat dry. Prick each sweet potato several times with a fork and wrap loosely in foil, sealing the ends securely.
Place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes. Check for doneness by squeezing gently with your hand in an oven mitt. Potato should feel very soft.
Slice open and scoop out each sweet potato into bowls, discarding the skin. The skin should easily separate from the flesh when cooked. Mash sweet potato with a fork until desired consistency.
Add ingredients from topping combination list to suit your desired flavor profile.
Notes
Tip from the Kitchen You can bake sweet potatoes in the microwave. Use a fork to poke holes in the raw potato, place on a dish, and microwave for 5 minutes. If not yet soft, cook in additional 30-second increments until done.PhytoRx Focus In addition to satisfying a savory profile, beans are an excellent source of vegetarian protein.
