Ingredients
- 2 sweet potato Japanese variety
- fork or knife
- oven
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 °F
- Clean and lightly scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to clean them. I use a vegetable brush to lightly scrub any dirt off, but don’t scrub too hard or you will remove the skin.
- Use a fork to pierce five sets of holes throughout each sweet potato.
- Set the potatoes on the wire rack of your oven.
- Convection oven: bake for 40 to 45 minutes Regular non-convection oven: bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour
- At about 30 minutes, test the sweet potatoes by using a fork and piercing it in the middle. If there is no resistance, they are finished. Remove the sweet potatoes and serve immediately.
