The sweet potatoes are done when they are tender and slightly browned at the edges. You can test their doneness by inserting a fork; it should easily pierce through.
Yes, you can substitute the 1% milk with any non-dairy milk like almond or oat milk, or a higher-fat milk like whole milk for a creamier texture.
Store any leftover sweet potato bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
