Okinawa Sweet Potatoes Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Wash the Okinawa sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them if desired. Cut them into cubes for even cooking.

  2. 2

    Season the Potatoes

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

  3. 3

    Roast the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until they are tender and lightly browned, turning halfway through.

  4. 4

    Garnish and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
