Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis treats warming spices like cinnamon as test-your-tolerance because they can irritate a sensitive bladder, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/2 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid cinnamon, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ½ tsp ground ginger

Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place the sweet potato directly on a baking sheet and roast for 35–40 minutes, until the skin is wrinkled and a fork slides through the center with no resistance. Set aside until cool enough to handle, about 15 minutes.

Peel the sweet potato and measure out 3/4 cup of the flesh, packing it lightly. Reserve any remaining flesh for another use.
