Today's microwave recipe: How to cook a sweet potato in the microwave. It's quick-quick and easy, whether for a fast at-home or office-kitchen lunch or a vegetable for supper.
I didn't mean to mislead. So many readers have clicked on 'microwave sweet potato' -- but wait! don't waste a click, that link leads only to a review of a plastic-wrapped 'microwave sweet potato' that costs twice as much and just isn't necessary.
It is so easy to cook a regular sweet potato in the microwave. It's my new go-to lunch! Plus since so many offices have microwaves, this could be a great lunch for work, too - though beware, it takes 10 minutes (or more) to cook a sweet potato in a microwave so might violate office etiquette during prime 'leftover reheat' times.
The source of this microwave technique for cooking sweet potatoes is the always reliable Vegetable Love by Barbara Kafka. Her vegetable cookbook is just so completely thorough! Barbara writes that microwaving a whole sweet potato is suitable for purées and pies, which intimates, doesn't it, that the texture is unpalatable for eating straight from the jacket? Not true! Just slice open a sweet potato cooked in the microwave, add a bit of butter and seasoning and voila, call it lunch! The texture is lovely, the taste is great!
