Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during cooking.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, and dried rosemary.
Drizzle the olive oil mixture over each sweet potato, using your hands to rub it in so that each potato is coated evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until they are tender. You can check tenderness by inserting a fork into the thickest part of the sweet potato; it should glide through easily.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. You can enjoy them as-is, or top them with your favorite soy-free toppings like butter, brown sugar, or cinnamon for extra flavor.
