    Hi guys! The cold, rainy weather this week has me craving all the warm, oven baked sweet potatoes. Once you bake sweet potatoes you enjoy them in healthy meals throughout the week or stuff them with a variety of ingredients. I show you BBQ chicken as one option....but what would you stuff in your sweet potato? xo - Lisa

      Thank you so much for mentioning the difference between yam and sweet potatoes. I have a digestion problem with yam (but not sweet potatoes) but most supermakets mixed the labels of these two items with each other.
      I have tried Japanese sweet potatoes yet. Would you please recommend japanese sweet potato recipes next time? Again, thank you so much-Looking forward your next fresh ideas and information! :)

    1. Wash them.
    2. Prick them with a fork.
    3. Put them in the oven for an hour (or a little longer if they’re fat) - 400 (Fahrenheit) or 204 (Celsius)

    A quicker way:
    1. cut sweat potato in half ( the smaller ones are the best for that)
    2. preheat oven 400f or 200C FAN
    3. put down on tray with the 'open' side
    4. bake for 30-35 min
    DONE

We are big eaters so I was surprised that this was filling too, especially cuz we like bread with our dinner. Winner winner on this chicken dinner!

    Thanks for straight forward instructions. I don't cook, ever, but got some sweet potatoes & wanted to see if I'd like them just by themselves out of the oven. Many other search results had sort of the BBQ chicken type info of how to make them the best way possible with all kinds of extra steps, but yours at least told how to cook them exactly like I asked in my Bing search. Much appreciated, from non-cookers around the world.
