Best Method
OVEN
Bake whole 400°F, 45-60 min. Cubed: 425°F, 25-30 min.
Oven heat caramelizes the high natural sugar content — the edges become candy-like. Stovetop can’t replicate this.
Secondary Method
STOVETOP
Sauté cubed med 12-15 min.
Pro Tip
Poke holes before baking whole. Line pan with foil — sugars drip and burn.
