INGREDIENTS for Berta Jay's
Baked Sweet Potatoes
---------------------------------------------------------
Organic sweet potatoes
THAT'S IT!
INSTRUCTIONS:
Whole potato:
1) Slice potato lengthwise.
2) Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
3) Bake at 400°F for 30 minutes.
4) Remove from oven and let rest for a few minutes. It's hot so be careful!
Potato Circles:
1) Peel and slice potato in about ¼ inch circles width-wise.
2) Place circles on a parchment lined baking sheet so they do not touch.
3) Bake at 400°F for 15 minutes; flip over and bake for another 15 minutes
4) Remove from oven.
5) Let stand a few minutes so you don't burn your mouth when you eat them!
---------------------------------------------------------
My objective for this channel is to share with others what I have learned over the last 30+ years about living and eating healthier. I share my knowledge with my small circle of friends all the time. I am not a doctor, nor do I hold any type of medical degree, but I believe that my tried experiences may help someone else.
For over 30 years I have used every diet imaginable to lose weight, but I admit that I now am at home using the vegan lifestyle; I am still learning how to be more consistent with it; however, I have decided to eat more healthily, realizing the weight will come off if I am diligent. Though I have not reached my goal weight, I know that sharing with people in front of a camera with help me be more diligent!
I want to share what I have learned about eating and enjoying the vegan lifestyle. I also have, with the help of my husband of 37 years, raised 3 grown children. I also will share some natural formulas I have used and still use for everyday problems.

THANK YOU BETTA JAY! I Have just discovered your channel (boy am I glad 😊) and have learned Soo many useful tips!! We are about the same age, I'll be 73 tomorrow 😊. And was Today years old when I heard of them! I believe I'm Never too old to learn- from any one any age! I thank you for sharing💕,A fan for life!
You are just a young woman, like me 😌 Cassandra, that video is the very 1st video my son, Evan, shot for this channel. I was a nervous wreck. I had never been filmed before and to see and hear myself on video was a life-changer for me. Thanks for being an encourager...and a fan for life. I speak blessing and goodness over your life and that you will prosper in all that you put your hands to. I am humbled by your kind words. Have a calm but productive day. Thanks for "discovering" me. 😊🙏🏾
Your voice is very calming ! It makes me want to pay attention ! I never knew about the numbers on fruits and vegetables. Thank you for the information!
Thanks so much, brittany. That video was the 1st video for my channel. I thought everyone knew about the numbering on fruits and veggies. It's one of the reasons why l started my channel...to share the things l've learned that someone else may not know. I am inspired by your comment to continue. Thanks for stopping by😊.
My kids are grown. I wish I had thought to serve them sweet potato rounds when they were little, I love to watch you cook. I feel like you are a relative teaching me and sharing her own tricks and experiences. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, Michelle. I really do enjoy what I do on my videos. One of my older sisters said that she loved watching me in the kitchen because it reminds her of a choreographed dance. I am so blessed by what you both have said to me. "A relative teaching" you, huh? I am so thankful for your words and feel honored that you have given me such a high honor...thanks again.
@@bertajay Thanks to you! I just made your gravy and posted a comment. Super good!
Thanks, Michelle. I am thankful for your comment.
Thanks for sharing about the codes for gmo vegetables. Love your tips and tricks!
You are so welcome, Anita. I just share from my heart. I really don't have a script; except, when I have a lot on a particular subject and I don't want to leave out anything. Thanks for the love🥰
Total YUM!
Thank you Chef Berta Jay
Soooooo glad I found you my Berta Jay , because I am feeling in the dark about how to eat healthy vegan. Also love when you suggest what to eat with the individual recipes you make. Thank you, thank you Berta Jay💕👍🏾🕺
You are so welcome, Sasha. I honestly thought that I was saying to much about with to eat with the recipes I make but I am thankful you let me know you appreciate it; because, I really love doing it for you and my other viewers. 🙂
I grew my own sweet potatoes in containers this year - first time. They are almost a plant and forget them crop - super low maintenance crop and easy to cure for winter. I'll definitely plant more next year. Thanks for sharing your easy ways of baking them.
I love your videos! Thank you so much for your contribution!
WONDERFUL ideas!! You’re a natural.
I am always trying hard to be and stay on my journey no matter what, I will not give up. Thanks for the encouragement, 1natural. ❤️
I'm grateful for your channel!
Thank you so much, Cathy. I am so grateful for you and your kind words. ❤ Do have a marvelous day!
Looks like a great method. I will use it. Thank you.
I knew about the number 9 being organic, but did not know about the number 3 being gmo. Thanks for that info. I refuse to eat gmo knowingly. This is a big help!
I am so glad you learned a little something from this video. As I learn something, I will be sure to share it with my viewers. Thanks for being so appreciative. 🤗
Berta, I made this! I love sweet potatoes, but until now I thought baking them takes a lot of preparation. I am so happy because the way you do it it's as easy as making toast, and they retain their moisture and sweetness. Now sweet potatoes will be a staple of my weekly diet. Thank you!
Your words are music to my ears. This was my 1st video on the channel. I am so glad, no...overjoyed, that this simple recipe for sweet potatoes, which l use all the time, has made an impact on your life. I am humbled. Thank you so much for sharing with me.😍
I just came across your channel and I love it! God bless you and thank you for sharing all these wonderful recipes!
I am so overjoyed that you "came across" my channel. May God's richest blessings follow you wherever you go. I love sharing my recipes. I use them all the time. Thanks so much for your comment.
Berta, thanks so much for the numbering system that grocers use and for all of your great tips
Oh my, Susan. I am so glad to help. I love when l share something that helps someone else. Glad you were on the receiving end of this little tip😉👍🏽
Thank you . Great advice.
Thanks. Good presentation.
WOW! Thank you very much for your recipes and the great information about the numbering on the vegetables and fruits 💞👍
Blessings! 🙏
You're so welcome, maj3stad. This is something I read about so I thought I would share it. Turns out it has helped inform quite a few people...including you...I am elated. Thanks so much for your words. 🙂
Great idea flipping the cooking paper!
Berta Jay! I loved the baked sweet taters (in my mom’s voice)...I also used my toaster oven and they were so delicious! I never thought of not using oil for roasted them, I’ll have to give a try! Thank you so much👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾👏🏾🥰😘😘😘
Love you save energy!!! Be sure to tell people to save veggie scraps for veggi broth and when the broth is done, strain veggies out and put into a compose (dirt).
Thank you for this info- excellent suggestions!
You are so welcome, Susan. This was my very 1st video. I still make these all the time. Thanks for your comment. Have a great 4th of July.
Hi Berta! I tried the baked potato with a vegetable stir fry and mushrooms. It was delicious! Thank you.
Thank you going to do this today I just love sweet potatoes many thanks Berta
You are so welcome, teddy. I enjoy eating sweet potatoes so much! Nice to hear that you do, too. 😊
What a nice lady, I’m enjoying every video! Thanks for your tips 👏🏻👏🏻❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey, Martha! Are you binge-watching my videos? Let me know.
I am so glad that you are enjoying them and I hope you're learning something from the things I share. I do enjoy my work.
Thanks a bunch for leaving your comments. 🍠 😊
OMGosh... I never knew that about the numbers. That is the most helpful info I have ever seen, thank you!!
You're welcome, A. Just keep in mind that as I learn new and helpful tips, I will be passing them on to you and the rest of my viewers. Thanks for watching! 👍🏾
Berta I’m from the south we grew up on sweet potatoes just put them in oven they are simply the best I bake pies for friends yet I don’t eat the pies but plan sweet potatoes 🍠 are the best thanks for sharing
Oh, Katie, you are so right, girl! Our treat when my sisters and I came home from school was baked sweet potatoes from the garden! This was my very first video for this channel. I love your sharing about yourself. I feel like I know you. 🥰
Hi just found you and just wanted to say I’m not vegan and I really don’t eat much veggies so I was looking on TH-cam to find veggie recipes that would make me want to eat them and I love your recipes! I buy a lot of veggies now! I even have a salad spinner! And I started storing lettuce using napkins! I’m so excited!
WOW, Anna!! 😲🤗 I am so excited about that! You have really made my day. Thanks so much for 'finding' me! I do try to make simple recipes for myself and pray that my viewers will try them. Really, I appreciate your comment so much! Have a peaceful day and keep eating your vegetables because they are so GOOD for you 🥰
Thank you ❤❤
Wow. You teach me something new every video.
Oh, Maggie...that's one of my objectives in doing this channel....to teach others things that may make their lives a wee bit easier. Glad I have done that for you with my simple teachings 🥰
I eat organic sweet potatoes every week, too. Healthy minds think alike! 🍠🍠😎🌞
That is so true, Maggie; that is so true. Thanks for your comment. 🥰 🍠
I love your pot holders! Perhaps another video how to make them?!?!
I absolutely love sweet potatoes ❤️👍😊
Just like me, Carmen...I really love them, too. Cooking them this way is probably the simplest way you can make a sweet potato.
Thanks for letting me know that I have another person in my troup that loves sweet potatoes just like me. 😍
I once read a book about George Washington Carver, who became famous for his research on the peanut. He was an instructor at Tuskegee Institute and I believe said about the sweet potato that man could live on it - alone.
You know, I know that I could for sure😉. Thanks for that piece of information. I knew about George Washington Carver and the peanut but not the sweet potato. I am always learning something new 🥰
Hey hey Miss Berta Jay, I’m cooking sweet potatoes today your way! Thank you for your great suggestions. Have a blessed day🙏
Well, Kay, sounds like you're quite the poet! I am so glad I gave you something to rhyme about. These are always good. Glad you are making these. 🥔😊
Thank you for sharing
Thank you for your comment.
Awesome, I follow both Dr. McDougall and Forks Over Knives, too. You're fabulous!!
Thanks, belidoria. I am working on myself everyday. This way of living is best for me. Thanks so much for your comment and your support.
Thank you for the information on the produce tags!
Not very many people know about the numbering on fruits and vegetables. I am so glad I shared it. This was my very 1st video we did for this channel. I was a nervous wreck...guess you can tell, eh? I've come a long way since then. Thanks for sticking with me, Savannah! I really enjoy hearing from you.😊
You didn’t look nervous, you are a natural! I had to watch this again!
@@savannahv1808 I was a nervous wreck all day. Evan was so kind and talked to me and told me to just say what I say to my friends when they call about something...just speak from my heart. Thanks, Savannah...I am so glad you are a viewer of mine. You bless me so much and I really appreciate that. ;-)
I was out of the country, I missed checking to see if you put a new video up! Now I get to see the last few videos I have left😳 It was hard to find food I could eat for a week😢 I came home starving! I did read a great book, Eating on the Wild Side by Jo Robinson. You should look at it has great info!
@@savannahv1808 Thanks so much, Savannah. I will see if I can find it. You are such a gem. If you don't mind...where did you go and did you enjoy yourself?
I love sweet potatoes to
You said the right words, Erica. Seems that I have to have a sweet potato even if it is just once a week. I just don't feel right until I do. Thanks for your comment.
Stay sweet-potatoey 🤭! I'm in the same club❤️
I can eat baked sweet potatoes and steamed broccoli everyday. Thanks for covering the details for the sweets!
You're so welcome, Barbara. You sound exactly like me. I have to restrain myself not to eat sweet potatoes at every meal 😆 and with steamed broccoli...you are a lady after my own ❤️! Those are definitely 2 of my favorites. 😉
@@bertajay I also enjoyed watching you work in your kitchen. It’s friendly and full of goodness.
@@Bvieux0 Thanks so much, Barbara. One of my sisters told me a while ago that she loved watching me cook in the kitchen because it reminded her of choreographed dance. I tucked that away in my heart...and now you tell me something similar. I just do what l do because l enjoy it so much. I appreciate both of your words that humble me😌
Berta Jay, You’re a genius! I try to eat as much organic food as my budget allows but never knew you could confirm that produce is organic by checking the sticker and seeing a 5-digit # beginning w/9. Great tip that I’ll definitely use going fwd. x
Thanks for your words, Marirose. You will surely keep me humble. I just ask a lot of questions and I like to investigate things. I really appreciate you and am so glad you are one of the Berta Jay Troupers. 🥰
Thanks for the number label tips beautiful mam
You're so welcome, missiris1234. And thank you. I appreciate your comment.😊
Wow, you don't need to be vegan to enjoy Berta's recipes and tips!
Well, my goodness, you are so correct, zenobiaookpik! I told someone this past week the same thing about my recipes and tips. I appreciate reading your confirmation. 😊
I’m gonna make the slices today in my meal prep. Have you tried using lengthwise slices for toast? I cook them most of the way either in the oven or, if I forgot to do them, in the microwave, and then in the toaster for the last little bit, and I spread hummus and other stuff on them.
Anahid, that sounds so yummy. You are filled with lovely ideas for food. I really enjoy getting comments from you. You may see your idea again. ;-)
I love sweet potatoes
Me, too Maggie. They are usually in my house because I love them so much! 😄
"They don't even call it FOOD!" - I LOVE THIS, Berta. And you are so right. GMOs are not food the way God & Nature intended it to be. I steer clear of ALL GMOs. Please do more recipes for sweet potatoes - they're a favorite of mine too & as you know, so full of good things & nutrients. PS - do you ever use the so-called "white" sweet potato? At my market they're also referred to as "Jersey sweet potatoes." The flesh inside is whitish - & much drier, very similar to a Russet or Idaho baking potato. You can fix them these any way you'd prepare a "regular" potato - mashed, baked, roasted, fried etc. In my family, we always used the moister, orange-fleshed sweet potato for Thanksgiving etc. My Mom used to "candy" them in corn syrup & brown sugar. I think because it was the only way my Dad would eat them [his mom made them that way too]. I never candy them because I'm not a big fan of sweet food - I prefer savory. Not to mention that none of us need more sweets in our diets. OK, now I'm rambling. Anyway, I'm very interested in new & healthy ways to make sweet potatoes. Thanks for another great video. Take care.
Please, Jane. Do not worry about your rambling...because I love it. I like stories my viewers share; it helps me to know you better. I love, really, sweet potatoes! Now sure it you've seen these to sweet potato recipes on my channel. Do check them out:

th-cam.com/video/Rs6VA0X9d3s/w-d-xo.html
made these today to go with my salads. I made extra to have ready to add to my meals
Great idea, Norma. You are creative. Thanks for your comment. ❤️
I did them a bit different. I cut them in circles and put them in the George Forman grill. I does both sides at once, and leaves ridges on them.
Sounds like a wonderful idea, Naomi. I don't have one of those grills but I have seen one. I can just picture how the sweet potato circles would look! I think you are so smart and creative. 🥔
I never thought to put them on my Foreman. Great idea 👍
i will try this also,i use store bags too even in trash can
Okay, great! Sorry about the delay in my response. I am just noticing it today (9/16/19)😔 please forgive me.
I like to toss my sweet potatoes in cinnamon and bake them at 450 for 20min turning them halfway through. Nice change to the dinner or store them in the refrigerator and reheat for breakfast with a little humus
Thanks, Jane for sharing. Good idea. 👍🏽❤
Great stuff, Berta! Do you have a pressure cooker? That’s another fast, delicious and FOK/McDougall compliant method that I use a lot for sweet potatoes.
I have an old one that, honestly, I'm a wee bit afraid of so I am looking at buying an InstaPot. I think that will take my cooking to "a-whole-nother" level. Thanks, Julie, for your comment.
Julie Vargo I use my Instant Pot!
@@missiris1234 Great to hear. I'm encouraged. Thanks for your comment.
I eat the potato skins and have noticed a difference in taste between organic and conventional.
Oh, absolutely, Bessy, there is a big difference! You've got sensitive taste buds and that's a good thing. ❤️
I save everything from vege ends, etc in a bog and freeze it. When it gets pretty full I put in iPot and cook. Time doesn’t matter I sometimes add extra spices,..then I always have low/low sodium broth for WAY less that purchase price. I freeze in various containers . If freezing in glass be sure to leave room for expansions..... ask me how I know 😂
Dolores, I have tried making veggie broth but gave it up. So much work and I am the only one in my family who eats this way. Perhaps I'll give it a try again...maybe 😁 Thanks for your comment.❤️
@@bertajay Berta, totally understand. There are only two of us so I freeze my broth for soups, etc. If you’re ever in a jam, a quick delicious broth can be made with mushroom powder, nooch and whatever your favorite spices are. 😁
@@dolores79 Thanks so much, Dolores. You are a gem 💎 🥰
@@dolores79 Now that is a interesting mix. Now where would l get mushroom powder? Thanks for any help you can give me. ❤
@@bertajay I buy dried mushrooms on line and just put some in my spice blender (aka coffee blender 😉) and freeze the remainder. You can also get a great selection at oriental stores...but no one is ‘going’ there right now.
You know you can take the root ends and plant & grown your own sweetpotatoes also.:)
I absolutely DID NOT KNOW THAT, Marsha! 🥺Please tell me more. I have been wanting to do that. I appreciate your comment. 😊
@@bertajay If you purchase organic produce we all know its a little pricey. So grow your own if you have a little area. You can re-grow celery , tomatoes , potatoes , lettace , anything. And saves money just takes a little of time. :)
I consider sweet potatoes a 'food group'! :)
Have always loved them----just didn't get the full flavor until some time ago when I started baking them, cut up or not, with no added anything-----Just straight!
I use the air fryer for them quite a bit-----And when baking in oven I don't wrap them, even----
(Berta, in more recent vids you are composting, right?)
Thanks for your comment, Ruthann. I do compost in the warmer months. Not sure what to do with snow on the ground;-); keep in mind, the more I learn, the more I do.
@@bertajay Berta Jay If I ever stop learning, I'll know I'm dead! :)
Durin
g winter, I just put the compost out in the regular place on the snow, or frozen ground. Doesn't take long for the snow, sleet, and rain to do a job on breaking it up----
Some people use a container inside and then take it out.
@@ruthannamarteifio2956, I may give this a try but I'm not sure how that will work. I'll think about it. Thanks so much.
Berta Jay I’ve always used bags like you do for food scraps, but now that I’m trying not to take them and using reusable bags instead, I either use a bowl or bring my kitchen compost bin close to where I’m working. Just a thought. :)
Thanks, @@anahidkassabian4471 for the suggestion.
I would highly suggest if you are producing a lot of vegetable scraps, to start composting. Instead of tossing it in the garbage, toss into a composter, then in a few months, you have some rich stuff to add to potted plants or a vegetable garden or whatever growing plants you have.
I have not mentioned this on my show yet but I DO compost. Thank you for your suggestion.
Thank you again, didn't know.
Do you know how to make Sweet Potato Casserole?
No I do not. Sorry. 😟 Tell me what it is. Thanks.😀
Elizabeth Torres, I make one my mom used to make at holidays. It’s not vegan, though, as it uses eggs. It’s very sweet and delicious. 😋
Berta Jay Mashed sweet potatoes combined with sugar, butter, eggs, cinnamon, pecans, and vanilla baked in a casserole dish. It uses both white and brown sugar, but I don’t see why you couldn’t substitute maple syrup or honey or something else. Brown sugar should really be used in the topping, though, for texture. Also, I don’t see why you couldn’t use a flax egg, either. My family makes it mainly on holidays as a side dish, but it’s wonderful as a dessert, too. I forgot to mention, some recipes use marshmallows, but that makes it way too sweet for us.
2 things: saving money!- pl see Chris Hogan & Dave Ramsey: both men have fabulous tips on money (can be seen on TH-cam). In fact, I bought The Total Money Makeover for each of my adult kids. #2- My mother's easy sweet potato recipe. Children love it. Half an orange. Take out pulp. Put the mashed sweet potato in the orange half and heat. Delicious. I add cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin & pineapple.
Peppie, I am a wee bit confused about your mom's wonderful recipe. Please clarify:
1. Do I mash the sweet potato and put the orange pulp in it?
2. When I heat (bake) the mashed sweet potatoes, what is the temperature of the oven? what happens to the orange rind?
3. How do you ADD the pumpkin & pineapple to the mashed sweet potatoes? Are they mashed or blended before adding?
4. Help me out here, Peppie. 🤔😊
How long have you been eating plant based? And did you have need to lose weight? What health benefits have you achieved.
best thing is grow own if you can
How would I do that, toby? Got any ideas for me? I really love sweet potatoes? 🤔
Organically grown is the best way to go ! The taste is different ! I know it is with bananas ! Ugh ! Unfortunately , We have to censor our food to live healthy !!
Delicious !
Yes, you are correct. Thanks so much for your comment and sharing your thoughts🙂
3 ?? thumbs down? I'm a mental health nurse & it takes all kinds.
I wasn't quite sure what you meant but my daughter explained what 3?? is 😄. It does take all kinds but we have to like them anyway. I appreciate the work you do; thanks so much for your comment. 😊
Berta can you educate on aluminum foil... do you not use it at all
I do not use aluminum foil at all, nor do I use anything products with aluminum in it. If I use aluminum foil I put some waxed paper between it and the food I cook. Check this board-certified doctor's research on the subject; his name is Dr. Michael Greger. He has written several books; one of which is "How Not to Die."
nutritionfacts.org/video/are-aluminum-pots-bottles-and-foil-safe/
Thanks for your question, zora. 😊
What about the microwave?
I do not cook any food in a microwave so I could not tell you how it would work. Thanks for your question. ❤️
Can we eat the skins? Bless you.
ABSOLUTELY! Eat the skins...lots of good stuff in them. I do all the time. Good question ❤️
suckers are hard to cut
In the kitchen you must have good knives. Buy yourself a good sharp knife and you won't say that anymore. Honestly. 🙂
You should invest in silicone mats, it saves money in the long run.
Hey, again, Naomi...silicone mats for what exactly? Tell me more.
@@bertajay They take the place of parchment paper, but there reusable. You wash them and reuse them on your cookie sheets.
Thanks, Naomi...will look into this option. Sounds like a money saver.
My name's Bertha Jay not Rachel Ray... lol😂🤣😂🤣😂
Yep, that's me...Berta Jay 😁
