The Perfect Way to Cook Sweet Potatoes Without Water – Maximum Flavor & Nutrition! (Page 2 ) | April 19, 2025

Unlike boiling, steaming keeps the nutrients intact while giving you soft, fluffy sweet potatoes.

🔸 Instructions:

1. Cut sweet potatoes into chunks or slices.
2. Place them in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water (water should not touch the sweet potatoes).
3. Cover and steam for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender.
4. Enjoy them plain, or mash them with a bit of butter and cinnamon.

✅ Why This Works: Preserves more nutrients than boiling while keeping the sweet potatoes soft and delicious.

Barbara O’Neill’s View on Cooking Sweet Potatoes for Maximum Health

Barbara O’Neill emphasizes the importance of keeping food as close to its natural state as possible:
“When you overcook food or leach out nutrients in water, you lose a lot of the benefits that nature intended. Cooking sweet potatoes properly, using dry heat, enhances their health properties while keeping all their goodness intact.”

By roasting, pan-cooking, or steaming sweet potatoes without water, you’ll maximize their nutritional value, bring out their natural sweetness, and enjoy a healthier, tastier dish! 🍠
