Ingredients
- 4 large Sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, pierce the sweet potatoes several times all over to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Place the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.
Step 5
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the cinnamon butter. In a small bowl, mix the unsalted butter, ground cinnamon, honey, and salt until well combined. Set the butter in the refrigerator to firm up slightly if necessary.
Step 6
Once the sweet potatoes are done baking, carefully remove them from the oven using oven mitts. Let them cool for 5 minutes.
Step 7
Slice each sweet potato open lengthwise and lightly fluff the flesh with a fork.
Step 8
Top each sweet potato with a dollop of the cinnamon butter, allowing it to melt into the warm flesh.
Step 9
Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, sweet, and spiced flavors!
