Microwaved Sweet Potato

If you’re thinking of a quick merienda recipe, then the microwaved sweet potato is perfect for you! It is filling, nutritious, and great for people who don’t have much time to prepare a snack. Just cook it inside your Hanabishi microwave if you’re feeling hungry.

To cook your sweet potato, you can use the Hanabishi Digital Microwave Oven HMO2IN136. It features a grill function so you can also make a grilled version of this recipe!

Ingredients:

• 1 pc sweet potato
• ½ tbsp of butter
• Pinch of salt

Steps:

1. Rinse the sweet potato in water and brush it thoroughly with a vegetable brush to get rid of any soil and debris. After that, wash it with water to remove all the particles and pat dry with a towel.
2. Pierce the skin of the sweet potato using a fork four to five times. This ensures that the steam will escape while cooking.
3. Put the sweet potato on a microwave-safe plate and cook in the microwave for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. 
4. Turn the sweet potato on its other side and cook for another 2 minutes and 30 seconds.
5. Pierce the sweet potato with a fork to check if it’s cooked thoroughly. Add 30 seconds to your cooking time if you need to microwave it again.
6. Split the sweet potato in the middle and top with salt and butter. Serve and enjoy.
