I love sweet potato and usually have it baked. It’s so easy, cos you just marinate it with whatever spices that you fancy and bake it. I have tried doing a simple stir fry also, but prefer the taste of the sweet potato when baked.

My usual marinate for this recipe is with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chilli flakes and salt. You can even throw in fresh garlic either sliced, grated or smashed and followed by any seasoning you fancy. It’s that easy!

Then again, there is the honey sweet potato and the purple ones. I am yet to try the purple sweet potato, only cos the colour does not appeal to me… ha ha. Till such time, I will continue having the honey sweet potatoes 😀.
