- Use high-quality sweet potatoes. Choose sweet potatoes that are firm and have a deep orange color. Avoid sweet potatoes that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Cook the sweet potatoes until they are tender. You can cook the sweet potatoes in the oven, microwave, or on the grill. Cook them until they are tender, but not mushy.
