Notes

For optimal results, choose firm and blemish-free Korean sweet potatoes. These potatoes are naturally sweet, so they pair beautifully with savory or sweet toppings. Adjust the cooking time as needed depending on the size of your sweet potatoes, and for even cooking, try to select sweet potatoes that are similar in size.
