At this time of year, it’s nice to slow down, cozy up at home, and snuggle on the couch with a blanket while watching the leaves fall from the trees outside the window. Autumn is one of the most beautiful seasons of the year, and we can enjoy certain seasonal foods like sweet potatoes or the much-appreciated mushrooms.
Cooking with Cannabis Flavor: Baked Sweet Potato with Mushrooms and Gorilla Glue Terpenes
Chef420grados reveals another one of their secrets, a seasonal recipe in which Gorilla Glue terpenes add that aromatic “punch” straight from the jungle. Again, the mix of different aromas, flavors, textures, and colors is a spectacle for the senses. Remember, the more senses your recipes captivate, the more success they’ll have.
This recipe not only delights the senses but also has high nutritional value, highlighting the seasonal ingredients:
- Sweet potatoes: contain a wide variety of nutrients and vitamins such as potassium, phosphorus, calcium, and vitamins A, B, and C. They’re also rich in fiber, antioxidants, and carbohydrates.
- Rovellons, rebollones, or saffron milk caps: offer a good amount of potassium, plant-based iron, vitamin B, and carotenes, along with smaller amounts of vitamins C, K, D, calcium, and phosphorus.
- Chestnuts: provide a significant amount of phosphorus, calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, and vitamins B1, B3, B6, folic acid, and fiber.
Ingredients
- 2 sweet potatoes
- Mushrooms (preferably rovellons)
- Whipping cream
- Lemon
- Chestnuts
- Gorilla Glue terpenes (as explained in the final tasting note, this strain was chosen for its nuances, but you can experiment with any from our catalog).

Baked Sweet Potato with Terpenes, Step by Step
Follow the steps below to create the recipe:
1. Cook the sweet potatoes. There are two options:
- Heat in the oven for 1h at 200ºC, making cuts in them.
- In the microwave, 8-10 minutes at maximum power, also making cuts.
- Ideally, include the chestnuts in this first step as well (30 min in the oven at 200ºC).
2. Open the sweet potato in half and cut it into a grid.
3. Sauté the rovellons in a pan and add a bit of sour cream (semi-whipped cream + salt + pepper + lemon + 1 or 2 drops of terpenes, depending on the desired intensity).
4. Plate the sweet potatoes and add the mushrooms and chopped chestnuts.
5. Enjoy!
