Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Greek yogurt
- Cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
- Poke holes in the sweet potatoes using a fork. This allows steam to escape during baking, preventing them from bursting.
- Rub olive oil all over the sweet potatoes. This helps create a crispy skin.
- Season the sweet potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
