Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Wash the Japanese sweet potatoes thoroughly and pierce them with a fork several times.

  2. 2

    Bake the Potatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes, or until tender.

  3. 3

    Make the Topping

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in the black sugar until dissolved. Remove from heat and set aside.

  4. 4

    Combine and Serve

    Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, cut them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Drizzle the buttered black sugar mixture over each potato, sprinkle with salt and pepper, and top with Parmesan cheese.
