Notes

Make 1 sweet potato per person.

My favorite method for cooking sweet potato is using an Instant Pot. Simply add 1-4 (unpeeled) whole sweet potatoes to the basket. Add 1 cup of water and pressure cook on high for 12 minutes. The peel easily comes off with your fingers after cooking.

Use pumpkin seeds or sunflower seeds for nut free.
