Main Ingredients- 100g Mozzarella cheese
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the two sweet potatoes thoroughly. Since we’ll be steaming them with the skin on, it’s important to scrub them meticulously to remove all dirt.
Step 2
Pour an appropriate amount of water into a pot (enough so the sweet potatoes aren’t fully submerged) and place a steamer basket over it.
Step 3
Arrange the washed sweet potatoes in the prepared steamer basket and cover with a lid.
Step 4
Steam until a chopstick or fork can easily pierce through the sweet potatoes, indicating they are fully cooked. The steaming time may vary depending on the size of the sweet potatoes (approximately 20-30 minutes).
Step 5
Once the sweet potatoes are well-cooked, let them cool slightly until they are warm enough to handle. Peel the skins and mash them smoothly while still warm. Ensure there are no lumps for a better texture. (Using a masher or fork will make this easier.)
Step 6
Now, let’s prepare the pan. Heat a dry non-stick pan over medium-low heat, without adding any oil. Spread the 100g of mozzarella cheese evenly in a circular shape in the center of the pan. Let the cheese melt slowly.
Step 7
As the cheese begins to melt, spread the mashed sweet potato thinly over the melted cheese. It’s best to spread it thinly, as a thick layer might not cook through properly.
Step 8
After placing the sweet potato on the cheese, use a spatula or spoon to shape the sweet potato mixture into a neat circle. Since the cheese is melted, gently press down to help the sweet potato adhere well while shaping.
Step 9
Cook over low heat until the cheese and sweet potato are well combined and lightly golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Then, carefully tilt the pan and gently roll it up to create your crustless sweet potato roll!
Step 10
This sweet potato cheese roll offers a unique experience, much like enjoying a crustless sweet potato pizza. The chewy cheese exterior and the sweet potato filling create a fantastic harmony of flavors and textures.
Step 11
Even when you’re dieting, there are times when you crave something special! This sweet potato cheese roll is also excellent as a satisfying meal replacement. You can add plenty of cheese for an even richer flavor. Enjoy your healthy and delicious diet!

Wishing you a happy mealtime today! Enjoy! ^^
