Many people like to eat roasted sweet potatoes, but roasting sweet potatoes takes a lot of time. It takes at least 1 hour to use the oven, and it takes about half an hour to cook. However, it can be eaten in a microwave oven in less than 10 minutes, especially when a small amount is baked for one or two. It's just that compared to the oven-baked, the microwave-baked is drier and will be very powdery, but it may be a little choking. This is determined by the working principle of the microwave. But this method is fast. In addition to sweet potatoes, you can also roast corn in a microwave oven. Grilled corn is really delicious, but there is no corn at home, so let’s use sweet potatoes as a demonstration. If you want to bake a lot at a time, it is recommended to steam or oven bake, otherwise I am afraid that the microwave oven will go on strike.

Ingredients

2 pcs Sweet Potato
4 sheets Kitchen Paper

Microwave Baked Sweet Potatoes

1. Wash the sweet potatoes and brush off the dirt on the surface with a toothbrush.

2. Moisten the kitchen paper first. (If it’s corn, it’s even simpler. Instead of using paper, just wrap it with the innermost layer of corn leaves.)

3. Wrap the sweet potatoes, and then cover the seal with a piece of wet kitchen paper, and wrap it again.

4. Pour a little water on the surface, and a little water under the plate.

5. Put the sweet potato into the microwave oven, high heat for 3 minutes (my home microwave oven 700W). Pay attention to the direction of the sweet potato.

6. Take it out, turn the sweet potato upside down, pour a little water, and don’t forget to add some water to the plate, and then put it in the microwave for 3 minutes. Note that the direction of the sweet potato is best to be turned 90 degrees this time. Flip up and down and rotate 90 degrees to heat the sweet potatoes evenly.

7. Take it out and pierce it with chopsticks. If you can’t easily pierce it, flip the sweet potato again and bake it for another 3 minutes. I baked two sweet potatoes three times for 9 minutes. Finally, the chopsticks are easy to pierce the sweet potato.

Tips:
1. Improper storage of sweet potatoes is prone to mold, so they cannot be eaten. Those with large dark spots cannot be eaten.
2. The specific time is determined by the size of the sweet potato, the larger the number, the longer the time, the smaller the shorter the time for a single roast, which can take 3 minutes as a cycle.
3. Kitchen paper is thicker and tougher, and it can directly contact food, so use kitchen paper to wrap it. Facial tissue is not recommended. And remember to pour water to keep the sweet potatoes moist, otherwise the roasted sweet potatoes will be very dry, because the working principle of the microwave oven is to heat the water molecules of the food itself. If you don't add water, the water in the food itself will completely evaporate.
4. Finally, if a sweet potato, it is recommended to use a bowl, put a little more water, it should be more moist.
