Essential Ingredients- 1 medium sweet potato
- 1 piece of butter (approx. 10g)
- 1 Tbsp honey
- 1 Tbsp mozzarella cheese (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of dried parsley (for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
To make delicious honey butter sweet potatoes, first, cook the sweet potato until tender. Steaming or baking in an oven or air fryer all yield great results. If using an air fryer, bake at 200°C (390°F) for about 40 minutes until slightly golden brown. The sweet potato should be soft and sweet when done. You can check for doneness by inserting a skewer or fork; it should go in smoothly.
Step 2
Let the cooked sweet potato cool down slightly. Now, it’s time to make a slit in the sweet potato using a knife. Be careful not to cut all the way through; make a cut about halfway down the body of the sweet potato. Then, gently open the slit with your fingers to create space for the butter and honey.
Step 3
Carefully place a piece of butter, cut to a suitable size, into the slit you’ve made and slightly opened in the sweet potato. The melting butter will infuse the sweet potato with a wonderful flavor.
Step 4
Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of honey over the butter to add sweetness. You can adjust the amount of honey based on the natural sweetness of the sweet potato and your personal preference.
Step 5
Now, add about 1 tablespoon of mozzarella cheese into the slit to enhance the nutty flavor and chewy texture. If you love cheese, feel free to add more.
Step 6
Place the sweet potato, now filled with all the ingredients, back into the air fryer and bake at 180°C (350°F) for another 5 minutes. It will be even more delicious when the cheese is melted and golden brown, and the butter has seeped into the sweet potato. If using a microwave, heat for 1-2 minutes to melt the cheese for a quick option.
Step 7
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of dried parsley over the finished honey butter sweet potato for a visually appealing garnish. This delightful honey butter sweet potato is best enjoyed warm immediately after preparation!
