Korean-style baked sweet potatoes with sesame seeds

Korean-style baked sweet potatoes with sesame seeds make for a delicious and nutritious side dish or snack. This simple recipe combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the nutty flavor of sesame seeds, resulting in a delightful culinary experience. The perfect balance of flavors and textures ensures that this dish will become a favorite in your kitchen.

Ingredients:

3/4 cup sweet potatos
100g
1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
7g
1 dash salt
0.40g
2 tsp sesame seeds
6g

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the ingredients.
2. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into small, bite-sized cubes or wedges.
3. Coat the sweet potatoes: In a large bowl, add the sweet potato pieces and drizzle with the vegetable oil. Toss well to ensure each piece is evenly coated.
4. Season with salt: Add a dash of salt to the bowl and give it another toss to incorporate the seasoning.
5. Spread on a baking sheet: Arrange the sweet potato pieces in a single layer on a baking sheet. This helps them to cook evenly.
6. Bake the sweet potatoes: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown. You may want to flip them halfway through to ensure they are evenly cooked on both sides.
7. Toast the sesame seeds: While the sweet potatoes are baking, toast the sesame seeds. Place a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes until they are golden and fragrant. Be careful not to let them burn.
8. Combine and serve: Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, remove them from the oven and transfer them to a serving dish. Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds over the top.
9. Optional garnish: For a little extra flavor, consider garnishing with chopped green onions or a light drizzle of sesame oil.

Tips:

- Select sweet potatoes that are firm and free of bruises for the best texture and flavor.

- Ensure the pieces are evenly sized for uniform cooking.

- Keep a close eye on the sweet potatoes while baking to prevent them from burning.

- Feel free to experiment with adding other seasonings such as pepper, garlic powder, or paprika for added flavor.

These Korean-style baked sweet potatoes with sesame seeds are a wonderful addition to any meal. Not only are they easy to prepare, but they're also packed with flavors that will delight your taste buds. With a few simple ingredients and straightforward steps, you can enjoy a healthy, delicious dish that showcases the versatility and natural sweetness of sweet potatoes.
