Ingredients
- 4 purple sweet potatoes
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- sea salt and pepper
- butter optional
- chives optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 220°C/425°F and place a piece of foil on a baking tray.
- Wash and scrub the skins of the potatoes lightly to get rid of any dirt and soil, then pat them dry on a clean kitchen towel.
- Grab a fork and prick the potatoes. The holes help reduce the baking time and allow the steam to escape.
- Rub each sweet potato lightly with extra-virgin olive oil, and line them up onto the baking tray.
- Bake for 40 to 50 minutes, or until they're soft inside when pierced with a fork.
- Remove them from the oven, let them cool, season with salt and pepper, serve with butter and chopped chives on top, or and add your favorite toppings.
