The Best Yaki Imo Recipe
The best sweet potato you’ll ever eat: nutrious, creamy, and sweet.

Ingredients
6 servings
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
