Ingredients

The following ingredients have 3 Servings
  • 1 large orange-fleshed sweet potato ((or garnet yam))
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and line a rimmed baking sheet with foil. Coat with nonstick spray.
  • Wash and dry the sweet potato.
  • Cut in half, then cut lengthwise into strips. Cut each strip in half again until each is about 1/2 inch thick. Slice in half horizontally if the sweet potato is very long. (Each strip should be about the size of your finger.)
  • Place into a bowl and toss with the olive oil.
  • Spread onto prepared baking sheet and roast for 22-25 minutes or until soft.
  • Let cool slightly and serve as is for a BLW-style finger food.
  • To serve as a thick mash, remove skin and mash with a fork one at a time or in a larger portion in a food processor or blender.
  • To serve as a thinner sweet potato puree, mash with a fork and add 1 tablespoon warm water at a time to reach desired consistency.
