Couldn't be easier or more delicious! Popped a sweet potato in the microwave after scoring it length-wise... and it came out perfectly done! Didn't use honey but did use butter and a fresh ground pepper. I can see me playing with other seasoning combinations in the future. Thanks for sharing a fast and easy recipe!

I had to give this 5 stars because of its simplicity in the microwave - and yams are SO delicious even with minimal preparation! Honey is great but I like to put brown sugar and butter in mine, just mashed in with the middle. Wonderful way to make yams!

This is excellent and I too prefer mine with brown sugar, but hey, maybe it's a Southern thing. It's so nice to have something I can fix for just one and not have to eat leftovers for a week. Real quick, too.
