The Best Yaki Imo Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 Japanese sweet potatoes

Instructions

1. 1

   Heat the oven to 325°F or 375°F depending on sweet potato texture preference. Wash and dry the Japanese sweet potatoes. Lightly prick the surface with a fork, if desired. I find that the potatoes don’t need it.

2. 2

   325°F for 1-1.5 hours depending on size for a super sweet fluffy cake-like texture or 375°F for 1-1.15 hours depending on size for a super sweet tender custard-y inside and crisp caramelized outside.

3. 3

   Let rest for 10 minutes then enjoy warm! You can either peel the skins and eat the insides or you can enjoy the skins too.
