With a spinach salad, a roasted sweet potato makes an easy dinner that's rich in green and yellow vegetables. Preheat the oven to 400F. Choose sweet potatoes of similar size if cooking more than one. Scrub well and bake until very tender when pierced, 50 to 60 minutes for a 12-ounce potato. To serve, slice lengthwise, break up the flesh with a fork, and add the traditional pat of butter, Chile Butter (see separate recipe), or even a little dark sesame oil. Season with salt and pepper. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - * Exported from MasterCook * Steamed Sweet Potatoes Recipe By : Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone, Deborah Madison, page 428 Serving Size : 1 Preparation Time :0:00 Categories : Side Dishes Vegetables Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method -------- ------------ -------------------------------- ***** NONE ***** Scrub sweet potatoes and leave them whole or cut them into large pieces.
