Katie:
Question/Concern: Making sweet potatoe fries in a 485 degree oven?? That exceeds the recommended oven temperature (safety limit) for most standard brands of parchment paper (which is generally 425, or 450 max).
What type (brand and type) of parchment paper do you use for baking at that temperature?

Do purple sweet potatoes take longer than regular? I found it really didn’t get caramelized and super soft and had to microwave it for 5 minutes after I sliced it open.

Yes, caramelized baked sweet potatoes taste awesome, but keep in mind, you’re destroying many more of the nutrients that way. My understanding is steaming preserves the most nutrients. So I bake them only as an occasional treat…

While I liked the texture with this method, it was such a pain to remove the flesh from the skins. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you Katie.
I love your recipes.
Most especially your sweet potato frosting.

I am always trying to incorporate veg ( hidden for now) into my recipes – sooooo- this fits the bill.

Today I will make mug cakes for grandson’s 6 birthday AND it was the day his brother became a brother. Double the celebration.

The boys love to make food with me – so instant microwave mug cakes will fit the bill

I just purchased initial mugs for the family so everyone gets to blow out their own candle.

Your tips and attention to detail are so welcomed.

THANK YOU so much once again.

In reply to Katt. Hi, you start it right away. But after turning the sweet potato when time's up, it will still need to cook longer before it caramelizes.

Do you wait til after the oven reaches 450 to start the 30 minutes, or time from when the potatoes go in the cold oven?

Contradictory directions: do they get baked 1 hr. or 30 min.? Is it 30 min., then turn them, and bake another 30 min.? Confusing so I haven’t done it.
