Baked Sweet Potatoes recipe


  • Author: Sophia

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings:

    • Greek yogurt
    • Cinnamon
    • Chives


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
  3. Poke holes in the sweet potatoes using a fork. This allows steam to escape during baking, preventing them from bursting.
  4. Rub olive oil all over the sweet potatoes. This helps create a crispy skin.
  5. Season the sweet potatoes with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  7. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
  8. Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
  9. Add your favorite toppings, such as Greek yogurt, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or freshly chopped chives.
