Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Thoroughly wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to clean them. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Poke each sweet potato a few times with a fork. This allows steam to escape during baking and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil and rub them to ensure they are evenly coated.
Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and cinnamon over the sweet potatoes. Use your hands to rub the spices evenly over their surfaces.
Arrange the sweet potatoes evenly spaced on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size and thickness of the potatoes.
Check for doneness by piercing the largest potato with a fork or a skewer. When done, it should glide in easily to the center of the sweet potato.
Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve hot, either sliced open with your favorite dairy-free toppings or on the side of your main dish.
