15 Minute Roasted Sweet Potato

The most delicious way to enjoy a Sweet Potato

I am not a fan of the traditional sweet potato with the marshmallows and all that. So I thought that i just didn't like sweet potatoes. Turns out I just needed to find a different way to make them.  

Serving size 1

Ingredients

- Sweet Potato
- Butter
- Salt
- Pepper
- Pinch of Chives (Optional)
- Dollop of Sour Cream (Optional)
- Parmesan Cheese

Directions

1. Scrub the skin of the potato clean. Use a vegetable brush and running water to remove any dirt and grime off the skin of the sweet potato.

2. Take sweet potato and pierce it with a fork a few times.

3. Place it in the microwave on medium-high for 6-7 minutes (depending on how big your sweet potato is) turning about every 2 minutes.

4. Once the potato has been cooked in the microwave you cut the potato in half. Then, without cutting all the way through on the ends you cut each half into squares. 

5. Take a few slices of butter and put in between some of the squares. Season with salt and pepper and then sprinkle Parmesan on top.

6. Broil the sweet potatoes on medium-high for 6-8 minutes (depending on how crispy you like yours). I like mine crispy but you have to watch them.

7. Garnish with chives, pinch of Parmesan cheese and a dollop of sour cream and you have the best-easiest sweet potato ever!

Note:

For a healthier version do steps 1 and 2 and then place in oven on tin foiled cookie sheet on 400 F for 45 - 55 minutes. Then finish with steps 4 - 7. This way the microwave will not kill any nutrients.
