About Silk Sweet
Just like its name, Silk Sweet has a silky-smooth texture and a light, elegant sweetness. Compared to Beni Haruka or Annou Imo, its flavor is milder and more delicate. It’s a versatile sweet potato that’s easy to enjoy in many ways, from sweet treats to savory dishes like tempura or soup.
How To Make Yaki Imo
Here’s a quick guide to making roasted sweet potatoes:
- Wash and wrap the sweet potatoes in foil.
- Roast at 160°C (320°F) for about 60 minutes.
- Leave them in the warm oven for an additional 15–20 minutes to bring out maximum sweetness.
The roasting method is the same as my basic Yaki Imo recipe. Check out that post for step-by-step instructions and helpful tips!
