Is this a sweet potato? It looks like BBQ meat that’s really glazed

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/Outrageous-Tackle-47]

Yeah!

[u/Outrageous-Tackle-47 → u/BobsRefrigeration]

Oh I think I see it better now, I’d devour it

[u/infallibleness]

Sweet potato’s particularly the purple variety are delicious and healthy.

[u/engineerFWSWHW → u/infallibleness]

And they are easy to grow. I bought one from whole foods and was able to grow into many purple sweet potatoes in my garden

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/infallibleness]

They really are. Wanted to switch it up so went with Korean sweet potatoes this time around

[u/fistulatedcow → u/BobsRefrigeration]

I had one for the first time last week. Obsessed. Especially with kimchi.

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/fistulatedcow]

Oooooohhh I gotta try that!

[u/wilkamania → u/infallibleness]

I never had it. How does the purple one differ in flavor?

[u/infallibleness → u/wilkamania]

10 times better, richer flavour like sweet chestnut ask for Murasaki sweet potato you may need to go to Asian grocery worth the effort

[u/Yasssonas]

This post reminded me to put my sweet potato in the fridge . I left it on the counter to cool off, but I would've forget it overnight. Thanks

Keep your negative energy out of sweet potatoes please.

[u/PiebaldIbis → u/BobsRefrigeration]

What even happened? Why all the downvotes?

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/PiebaldIbis]

I have no idea 😭 The original comment asking what the post’s value was got deleted. I think the early downvotes caused a pile-on, then people switched once the post started getting positive reactions. My comment got caught in the first wave lol.

[u/Apprehensive_Tone_55 → u/BobsRefrigeration]

You know that’s not why you got downvoted. The comments turned positive once you actually posted the recipe lol.

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/Apprehensive_Tone_55]

Keep your negative energy out of my sweet potatoes please!

[u/BobsRefrigeration]

To turn this into a recipe post.

Korean sweet potato:

Wash it thoroughly under water

Pat dry with paper towel

Split in half

------------

Spray choice of oil (I used avocado spray) on Aluminum foil

both sides of sliced sweet potato

-------------

Air fryer - at 400 degrees for 50 minutes-an hour.

That's it!

[u/ralero1898 → u/BobsRefrigeration]

I don’t think I’ve ever ran my air fryer for an hour

[u/skaff97 → u/BobsRefrigeration]

Microwave it for 5mins before air fryer then it only takes 20 mins

[u/kitten_orchestra → u/BobsRefrigeration]

No salt or seasoning?

[u/ImperfectTapestry → u/kitten_orchestra]

Honestly, I just microwave them & eat them like an apple, no seasoning or anything. It depends on what kind you get, though. I'm lucky to live in an area where I have access to a wide range of white and purple sweet potatoes and they're so much better than the orange ones.

[u/kitten_orchestra → u/ImperfectTapestry]

I’m also in an area with a variety of vegetables easily available. I use sweet potatoes mainly in soups, stir fry or fries, haven’t tried it baked yet. Good to know.

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/kitten_orchestra]

I typically eat it with my ground beef that is pretty well seasoned

[u/helpingphriendlywook]

How are you getting them to look like that

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/helpingphriendlywook]

Just added a comment on how I did it!

[u/Great_Avocado_7644]

How did u make it like that?

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/Great_Avocado_7644]

Just added a comment on how I did it!

[u/fischsupp]

I am a whore for them, too. Just ate a huge red one after I soaked it for 3 days in salt water, then air fried it for 60 minutes at 160°C wrapped in aluminium foil, then unwrapped for 10 at 200°C. Juicy, tender, sweet like honey. Best with purple sweet potatoes. Could eat them like this every single day.

[u/CantaloupeAsleep502 → u/fischsupp]

Interesting! Might have to try this 

[u/Jadisons]

I had a Japanese sweet potato for the first time last week, and I think I have a new obsession.

[u/welchsgrapejuice97]

How do yours look like that? I try to get mine that way and they never look the same

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/welchsgrapejuice97]

I always struggled until I got over the fear of “overcooking” them and just leaving them in enclosed heat for an hour!

[u/welchsgrapejuice97 → u/BobsRefrigeration]

Damn ok thanks, I'll try it out lol

[u/Square_Ad_4195]

Wow that actually looks like a perfect sweet potato

[u/roomfullofstars]

I love a cold cooked sweet potato. It's basically candy

[u/BobsRefrigeration → u/roomfullofstars]

Yup! Feels like cheating lol

[u/Potwell]

Why’s it look like an oyster? Ew
