Cooking sweet potatoes in the microwave is a quick and easy way to enjoy this nutritious vegetable. Simply scrub the potatoes clean, pierce them with a fork, and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes per potato, or until tender. You can then enjoy them plain, mashed, or roasted.
Microwaving sweet potatoes has several benefits over other cooking methods. First, it is much faster than roasting or baking potatoes in the oven. Second, microwaving helps to retain more of the potato’s nutrients, as there is no need to peel or boil the potatoes before cooking. Finally, microwaving is a more energy-efficient way to cook potatoes than using the oven.
