Ingredients
- 3 purple sweet potatoes
- Aluminium foil for wrapping
Instructions
- Wash the sweet potatoes: Thoroughly rinse the purple sweet potatoes under cold water to remove any dirt or debris on the skin.
- Wrap in aluminium foil: Tightly wrap each sweet potato individually using aluminium foil to help them steam and roast evenly.
- Arrange in pan: Place the foil-wrapped sweet potatoes on a frying pan or skillet over low heat to ensure slow and even cooking.
- Cover and roast: Place a lid over the pan or skillet to trap heat and roast the sweet potatoes slowly for about 1 hour.
- Turn regularly: Every 15 minutes, rotate the sweet potatoes about 90 degrees for even roasting on all sides.
- Check doneness: Insert a skewer into a sweet potato; if it slides in easily and the sweet potato feels soft, turn off the heat and serve immediately.
