What is the healthiest way to cook sweet potatoes?

Boiling sweet potatoes for 20 minutes is the healthiest way to cook and consume sweet potatoes, as the beta-carotene contained in the sweet potato is more dense and easily absorbed.

What do sweet potatoes pair well with?

Sweet potatoes can be served and enjoyed with nearly all vegetables, fish, or other meats. Sweet potatoes like regular potatoes truly can be paired with almost anything.

Should you peel a sweet potato before cooking it?

Peeling a sweet potato is totally up to you! The peel is completely edible and tasty. Not only tasty, but they contain fiber and antioxidants.

Is it better to boil or roast sweet potatoes?

If you prefer a sweeter sweet potato I'd suggest roasting. Roasting a sweet potato helps to caramelize the sugars, making it sweeter. For a milder sweet potato, and to retain the most nutrients boiling is the way to go.
