If you are big on sweet potatoes but short on time, there's an easy solution: Microwave your sweet potatoes. It's really the best way. Microwaving sweet potatoes cuts down cook time by 45-55 minutes, and helps maintain nutritional value.

Below are instructions on how to steam sweet potatoes in the microwave. (Don't bother covering your potato in plastic wrap or with a towel, as the sweet potato comes in its own jacket-its skin!)
