Okay, what if you want something a little healthier? Sweet potatoes work great for baking, but treat them with different rules. They’re not starchy; they’re sugary.
Sweet potatoes get caramelized and soft when baked, not fluffy. If you’re craving that melt-in-your-mouth sweetness, go for it. But don’t expect a Russet texture—it’s a whole different vibe.
Pro tip: sprinkle a little cinnamon on a baked sweet potato. It’s like a dessert that pretends to be a side dish. Sneaky and delicious.
