Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and have no blemishes. Avoid sweet potatoes that are soft or have any cracks or bruises.

Cook the sweet potatoes properly: The sweet potatoes should be cooked until they are tender but not mushy. You can cook them in a variety of ways, such as boiling, baking, or roasting.

Use a good quality filo dough: The filo dough should be thin and pliable. Avoid filo dough that is dry or brittle.

Brush the filo dough with melted butter: This will help to keep the filo dough from drying out and will also add flavor.

Layer the filo dough and sweet potatoes evenly: This will help to ensure that the baklava is evenly cooked.

Bake the baklava until it is golden brown: The baklava should be baked until it is golden brown and the filo dough is crispy.

Let the baklava cool before cutting it: This will help to prevent the baklava from falling apart.

Serve the baklava with a drizzle of honey or syrup: This will add sweetness and flavor to the baklava.
