Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a fork, pierce the sweet potatoes several times all over to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the cinnamon butter. In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, honey, and salt until well combined. Set the butter in the refrigerator to firm up slightly if necessary.
Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, carefully remove them from the oven using oven mitts. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Slice each sweet potato open lengthwise and lightly fluff the flesh with a fork.
Top each sweet potato with a dollop of the cinnamon butter, allowing it to melt into the warm flesh.
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, sweet, and spiced flavors!
