Microwaving a sweet potato is a quick and easy way to enjoy this nutritious treat! Start by washing the sweet potato, then pierce it several times with a fork to allow steam to escape. Place it on a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for about 5-8 minutes, turning halfway through. It should be tender when done. Do you have any favorite toppings or recipes you like to try with sweet potatoes? Cooking can be such a fun exploration!
