How long do i need to cook a sweet potatoes in the oven?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Turn on the oven function of the toaster oven and set the temp to about 375 degrees. Clean the sweet potato and poke some holes in it with a fork so the steam pressure doesn't cause it to explode. Put it in the toaster oven to cook for at least 20 minutes and then check it by poking it to see how soft or firm it is. It needs to be pretty soft so if it's not, put it back in for another 10 minutes and then check it again. Repeat until it reaches desired doneness.

Asked by Wiki User

Asked by Wiki User

Sweet potatoes are great for nutrition. This is because they have Vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and special carotenoids that provide an antioxidant boost to your nutrition regime. The best thing about sweet potato nutrition is that sweet potatoes also taste better than regular potatoes. This is truly the best of both worlds and should help you as you try to get into better shape. Habits are hard enough to forge when they are painful, but with sweet potatoes, a diet food finally tastes great, fills you up, and boosts all the cells of your body with healthful stuff.

Can your dog get sick from you feeding him raw sweet potatoes?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The kind of worms that will give dogs problems do not live in potatoes - HOWEVER - if the raw potatoes also have dirt/soil on them, the dirt/soil may contain worms, eggs, larvae, or other parasites that CAN give dogs problems. It isn't the potatoes they will get the worms from, it is the soil.
