Roasted Japanese Sweet Potatoes; 2 Ways

There are 2 ways to roast them in the oven. At 325° for 70-90 minutes, the sweet potato has a sweet cake-like texture. At 375° for 50-60 minutes, they are cheesecake-like with a crispy outside. Either way, eating these sweet potatoes is like eating a dessert.
