Baked Whole Sweet Potatoes

Easy!  You don't even have to bake it - just microwave it.  It took about 10 minutes (2 "potato" cycles).  No aluminum foil, no 1 1/2 hours in the oven.  Of course, you can go to more trouble if you want (see below)...

According to whfoods.org:

"Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene). They are also a very good source of vitamin C, manganese, copper, pantothenic acid and vitamin B6. Additionally, they are a good source of potassium, dietary fiber, niacin, vitamin B1, vitamin B2 and phosphorus."
