Main Ingredients
For Ash Roasting
Method
Preparation
Wash and Prepare Sweet Potatoes
Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Season Sweet Potatoes
Coat the sweet potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle salt evenly over them to enhance flavor.
Roasting
Prepare the Fire
Build a fire using firewood or charcoal in a fire pit or grill. Allow it to burn down until you have a bed of hot coals.
Create an Ash Bed
Once the fire has burned down, spread the hot coals evenly and cover them with a layer of dry leaves or straw to create an insulating ash bed.
Place Sweet Potatoes
Nestle the seasoned sweet potatoes directly into the ash bed, making sure they are fully covered with ash and not exposed to direct heat.
Roast for 10 Hours
Cover the sweet potatoes with additional ash and allow them to roast undisturbed for approximately 10 hours. This slow cooking method will yield tender and flavorful sweet potatoes.
Serving
Remove and Serve
After 10 hours, carefully uncover the sweet potatoes from the ash. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy them as is, or mash them for a creamier texture.
