Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 spray olive oil spray
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Lightly spray each sweet potato with olive oil spray, ensuring a thin, even coating. This helps in crisping the skin.
Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon evenly over the sweet potatoes.
Place the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the baked sweet potatoes as a side dish, or enjoy them as a light and healthy main course.
