Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are about the same size. This will ensure they cook evenly.
  • Pierce the sweet potatoes: Before baking, pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork or knife. This will help them cook more evenly and prevent them from bursting.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes until they are tender: The cooking time will vary depending on the size of the sweet potatoes, but they are generally done when they are tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before handling: The sweet potatoes will be very hot when they come out of the oven, so let them cool slightly before handling them.
  • Add your favorite toppings: Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, you can add your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, marshmallows, and pecans.

Conclusion:

Sticky sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a tasty and healthy side dish, give sticky sweet potatoes a try.
