How to choose the best ingredients for Roast Sweet Potatoes with Avocado Dip
Sweet potato: Sweet potatoes spoil pretty quickly, so let's observe them when shopping. Choose tubers with a smooth, dry shell without cracks and bruises.
Avocado: Choose avocados when ripe, or as I do, buy a few, and then check if they are ready. To check if an avocado is ripe, you can check by pressing the rind to see if it is soft, but this is not a great way because sometimes we can miss the moment when it is really ok. The best way is to check what color the place is where it was attached to the tree. There are 4 options:
- the tip is green, the avocado is immature
- the tip is yellow, the avocado is half-ripe
- the tip is light brown the avocado is ripe
- the tip is dark brown, and the wrinkled avocado is overripe.
The two middle options are edible and will taste good. Unfortunately, the first option, you have to wait, and the fourth option, the avocado, is no longer suitable for consumption because, after opening, it will be partially brown inside. It may have brown stripes. One thing's for sure, the avocado won't be tasty anymore.
Tips and tricks
- If you have baked sweet potatoes, you can use them for soup or freeze them for reuse.
- If you do not use the whole avocado, use this part without the stone in the first place. Half a half with a stone in the middle will be slower to turn black and avocado longer. Provided it is in a refrigerator and a closed container.

Can I roast sweet potatoes in a fryer?
Yes, of course you can. The same procedure should be followed as if baking on a baking sheet. Preheat the Air Fryer to 340°F (170°C) and bake for 6 minutes, then increase the temperature to 375°F (190°C) and bake for another 4-6 minutes depending on how crispy you want them to be.
