Microwave sweet potato

Here’s the quickest way to cook a Sweet potato in the microwave 🍠⚡

What You Need

• 1 sweet potato
• Fork
• Microwave-safe plate
• Optional: Butter, Salt, Cinnamon, or Honey

Steps

1. Wash and scrub the sweet potato well.
2. Pierce it 5–6 times with a fork (prevents it from bursting).
3. Place it on a microwave-safe plate.
4. Microwave on high for 5 minutes.
5. Flip the potato and microwave another 2–4 minutes.

Check if Done

• A fork or knife should slide in easily.
• If it’s still firm, microwave 1 more minute at a time.

Serve

Cut it open and add:

• Butter + salt for savory 🧈
• Honey + cinnamon for sweet 🍯

Tip

Let it rest 1–2 minutes after cooking—the inside keeps cooking and becomes softer.
