Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with paper towels.
Place the sweet potatoes on a cutting board and pierce each one with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Coat each sweet potato with olive oil, rubbing it in evenly for a nice crisp skin after baking.
Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder over each sweet potato, ensuring they are seasoned on all sides.
Place the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.
Slice each baked sweet potato open lengthwise and fluff the interior with a fork.
Top with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves before serving.
