Add to Shopping List
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Scrub the dirt off of each sweet potato. Use a fork to poke 8 to 10 sets of holes in the skins of each sweet potato for ventilation and wrap each tightly in aluminum foil.
- Place on a baking sheet to catch the juice that will inevitably leak out. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour, or until soft.
- Carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and unwrap. Slice them each in half length-wise.
- Add 1 tablespoon melted butter to the inside of each sweet potato to top. Season with salt and pepper.
Notes
- Optional Toppings: Instead of seasoning with just salt and pepper, for a sweeter option top with butter and add in 1 tablespoons brown sugar and 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
