Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 stick unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Scrub the sweet potatoes under cold water and pat them dry with a towel.
Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Brush each sweet potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. Sprinkle kosher salt over the sweet potatoes to season the skins.
Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until they are easily pierced with a fork and tender inside.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the cinnamon butter. In a medium bowl, combine the unsalted butter, powdered sugar, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
Once the sweet potatoes are done, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes until safe to handle.
Slice each sweet potato open lengthwise and fluff the flesh with a fork.
Top each sweet potato with a generous dollop of the prepared cinnamon butter, allowing it to melt into the warm sweet potato.
Serve immediately and enjoy the sweet, buttery goodness!
