Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 4 teaspoons Brown sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt.
Pat the sweet potatoes dry with a kitchen towel. Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.
Brush each sweet potato lightly with olive oil and sprinkle with salt to enhance the flavor.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, mix ground cinnamon with brown sugar. Set aside.
Once the sweet potatoes are baked and slightly cooled, make a slit along the top of each potato and gently press the sides to open up the center.
Place 1 tablespoon of butter into each sweet potato. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon of the cinnamon-brown sugar mixture, allowing it to melt into the potato.
Serve hot as a side dish or as a standalone treat. Enjoy the warm, sweet, and buttery flavors of this Texas Roadhouse Style Baked Sweet Potato!
