How to Make the BEST Baked Sweet Potatoes
Description
This recipe instructs placing whole, unpeeled sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet and roasting them in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 50 minutes to an hour. Roast until the sweet potatoes are soft inside and their peels have dried and started to separate from the flesh. This roasting technique allows the natural sugars in the potato to concentrate and develop a rich sweetness while the skin acts as a barrier, keeping the interior moist.
After roasting and cooling slightly for safe handling, the potatoes are cut lengthwise down the middle. The skin edges are peeled back to create a jacket around the flesh, which is then gently mashed to fluff the interior. Finally, they are seasoned as desired. This method produces a soft, creamy texture inside contrasted by a tender skin, suitable for serving alongside other dishes or topping with additional ingredients.
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potato
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- Place the potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet, whole with the skin on, and roast for 50 minutes to 1 hour, or until soft and the peels are papery and pulling away from the flesh. Let them rest until they're cool enough to handle. Then take a knife to slice them down the middle, peel the jacket to the sides, give them a little mash, and season.
