To find your microwave’s wattage, look at the front panel, the side of the door, in the back, in the user manual, or Google the model number. If both an input and output wattage are listed, use the output.

Wattage translates to how powerful the microwave is. The higher the wattage, the faster your food will cook. The lower the wattage, the longer the cook time.

When in doubt, start with less time — you can always add more.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup
  • ½ tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1 (170g) medium sweet potato or yam, peeled and sliced in ½-inch thick slices

Preparation

  1. Add butter to the Anyday dish and melt in the microwave. Add maple syrup, apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper and mix well. 
  2. Add the sliced sweet potatoes and toss with butter mixture, making sure potatoes are well-coated. Cover with the lid (knob lifted). 
  3. Cook in the microwave for 5-6 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are soft and fully cooked. Cool for 1 minute with the lid on. 
  4. Spoon the maple butter over the yams and serve.

Suggestions

  • Finish sweet potatoes with crumbled blue cheese or feta cheese.
  • Once cooked, sprinkle the top with candied nuts for crunch.
  • Try it with chopped crispy bacon or pancetta.

Recipe Notes

  • Substitute butter for 2 pieces of chopped bacon (regular or maple bacon) and cook until crisp and the fat has rendered (about 3 minutes). 
  • Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
