Let’s go over how to cook sweet potatoes:

BAKED Sweet Potatoes:

If you want me video above, you’ll see that I most often bake my sweet potatoes. To do this, simply pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a baking tray with foil (this is optional but recommended). Pierce a few holes in the potatoes using a fork and place them on your baking sheet. Bake in the pre-heated oven starting at 40 minutes until the potatoes are tender and particularly easily pierced with a fork to the center.

Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes:

I have a whole blog post HERE on how to make sweet potatoes in your instant pot. It’s truly unfussy and Worth keeping that it requires such little effort!

Some substitutions:

• sauce: this would be great with all kinds of different savory sauces

4) Guacamole Stuffed Sweet Potatoes

HERE is my original and STRAIGHTFORWARD Guacamole recipe. I never would have thought that avocado in a sweet potato would be worth the pot but it truly is!

Some substitutions:

• you could use store bought guacamole OR make a especially simple guac by mixing together mashed avocado, pico de gallo, and salt + pepper
• the extra tomato and black bean toppings are optional but entirely recommended!
• you could kind of combine this method with the stuffed black bean version and add the guacamole on top of the sauteed black bean mixture.
