Frozen baked sweet potatoes

Serves 4

Difficulty Easy

Prep Time freezing time 3 hours – over night

Cooking Time 1 hour 30 minutes

Ingredients

4 Woolworths Kara orange sweet potatoes
2 cups Yoghurt, to serve
Granola to sprinkle
Woolworths toffee dessert sauce, to serve
sesame seeds, toasted, to sprinkle

Method

1. Wash and freeze 4 sweet potatoes of more or less the same size. Allow to freeze overnight.

2. Preheat the oven to 180C°. Place frozen potatoes on a lined baking tray and bake for 1 – 1 ½ hours until they are super soft and fluffy on the inside and the natural sugars are oozing out of the skins almost like a caramel.

3. Serve warm torn open over plain yoghurt, crunchy granola and drizzle with sticky toffee sauce and nutty toasted sesame seeds.

Cook’s note: We must give credit to chef @lucas.sin for bringing this popular Asian street snack to the world’s attention. Check out his story here.

I tried the Kara Orange sweet potatoes which are beautiful and vibrant in colour but also a lot more moist – like a sweet pumpkin which we South Africans love. They came out really lush – way more fluffy and soft than normal. You can also use ordinary sweet potatoes though the result is likely to be more spongy as they have less moisture and more starch.
