Roast them at 425 deg F for about ½ an hour to ¾ of an hour. Remove the skin and then you can slice them up or dice it up. If you are going to boil it, you can do so for up to a maximum of 30 minutes. You can see if it is cooked by piercing a knife into it. If it is easy to pierce then it is cooked.
