Ingredients

  • medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean and dried (as many as you’d like)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Get ready. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment paper. Using a fork, poke the sweet potatoes all over then arrange them on the prepared sheet pan.
  2. Roast the potatoes. Bake in the heated oven for 45 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are very tender on the inside and a fork inserted in the center meets no resistance. I like to leave mine in the oven a bit longer so that the skin puffs up and chars in some parts.
  3. Season as you please: Eat the potatoes plain or season them simply with a little salt and pepper, or for a sweet touch, drizzle with honey and crushed nuts.
