Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato a few times over its surface. This helps the steam escape while they bake.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and rub them so they are evenly coated. Sprinkle sea salt and ground black pepper all over the sweet potatoes.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. The exact time may vary depending on the size of your sweet potatoes.
Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Cut a slit along the top of each sweet potato and fluff the insides with a fork. Serve warm, and enjoy!
