How To Make Roasted Japanese Sweet Potato | Yaki Imo

sweet potatoes

🥗Healthier: Japanese sweet potatoes

💰Cheaper: regular potatoes

Japanese sweet potatoes are sweeter and creamier, while regular potatoes are more affordable.

Preheat your oven to 180°C.

Wash the Japanese sweet potatoes in cold water.

Dry the sweet potatoes and then wrap them in foil.

Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and roast them at 180°C for 60 minutes.

Leave them in for an additional 15-20 minutes to allow them to cool.

After the yakimo cools down, open the foil, grab the sweet potato, divide it in half by hand, and eat from the middle.

You can also eat the purple skin of Japanese sweet potatoes, but if you don't like the starchy texture, feel free to remove the skin.
