Cook Time

Ingredients
3-4 Japanese Sweet Potatoes*
1 bottle of Kikkoman® Teriyaki BBQ & Glaze Sauce + extra for garnish
1 tablespoon avocado oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
3 green onions, finely sliced, for garnish
1-2 teaspoons of sesame seeds, optional, for garnish
*Opt for potatoes that are either on the smaller size (in that case, use 4 potatoes), or ones that are long and slim.
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Poke holes in each potato all around, then line them up on your baking sheet. Bake for 35 minutes to 1 hour, until very tender. Cook time will vary based on the size of your potatoes.
- Meanwhile, add your teriyaki sauce to a small bowl.
- When potatoes are tender, heat a pan over medium heat with oil. Slice each potato in half width-wise, then again length wise (if your potatoes are pretty small, you can just cut them once in half length-wise). Score each potato with a knife. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Sear each piece in your heated pan until golden, about 3-4 minutes. Return to baking sheet and baste potatoes with more teriyaki sauce (you may not end up using the whole bottle). Garnish with green onion and sesame seeds. Return to oven for 10 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
