DJBrad Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I sous vide sweet potatoes so that they will brown up and be more flavorful. Par-cooking the potatoes in water between 135 and 170°F (57 and 77°C) activates an enzyme that converts their starch into maltose, making them especially flavorful and sweet, without any need for extra sugar. Now, they're just sweet potatoes. Nothing else. All I did was get them hot. However, the act of getting them hot converted the starch in to a natural sugar. I didn't ADD it, per se... so is it fine?

Moderators ShannonM816 Posted August 11, 2020 Moderators Share Posted August 11, 2020 It's fine. Some ways of cooking some vegetables makes them taste sweeter, but as long as you're not adding sweetener to them, you haven't broken any rules.
