Notes

Storage tips

Cooked sweet potatoes can be stored in glass containers in the fridge for up to 5 days. To reheat the potatoes, place them in a microwave-safe dish and microwave on high for 1-2 minutes or until hot. Reheat In the microwave.

You can also scoop out the flesh and freeze it for up to 3 months. I suggest freezing into portions for quick sides or create a meal prep bowl with it. These silicone trays (Souper cubes) are great for freezing into 1-cup or more portions.
