How to Cook a Sweet Potato
- Bake: Scrub the potatoes and afterwards pat dry. Proceed to prick with a fork. Bake in the oven on a baking sheet for 40-60 minutes at 425ºF. Serve with butter, brown sugar or cinnamon.
- Microwave: With a fork, prick holes all over the potato. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes and turn the potato at least once during this time. Use the toppings of your choice.
- Slow Cooker: Clean and rub potatoes with olive oil. Set the oiled potatoes in the slow cooker and cook for 4 hours on high or 8 hours low.
- Air Fryer: Cut them into 1 inch pieces. Cover the cubes in your favorite seasonings and oil. Place in the air-fryer and cook for 15 minutes at 360ºF. Make sure you toss them every 5 minutes.
Storing Sweet Potatoes
Potatoes should be kept in a cold, dry, and dark area if they won’t be used straight away. Sweet potatoes will dry out if they are stored in the refrigerator.

Using Cinnamon in Your Cooking
Cinnamon, a spice with a warm and spicy flavor, adds aroma to a variety of meals, both savory and sweet! It comes in powdered form or whole sticks that can be used whole in stews and ciders or ground before use.
Recipe Tip:
Little is often enough! Therefore, take care not to use too much. Because of its powerful flavor, cinnamon has the potential to overpower your food. To give your food that extra something, you only need a tiny bit.
