Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato 5 to 6 times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle them with sea salt, black pepper, and optional cinnamon for added flavor.
Rub the seasonings and olive oil all over the sweet potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. You can test this by inserting a fork into the center. It should slide in easily.
Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Serve as a delicious and healthy side dish or as a base for your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
