Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon cinnamon
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Thoroughly wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to clean them. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Step 3
Poke each sweet potato a few times with a fork. This allows steam to escape during baking and prevents the potatoes from bursting.
Step 4
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy clean-up.
Step 5
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil and rub them to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 6
Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and cinnamon over the sweet potatoes. Use your hands to rub the spices evenly over their surfaces.
Step 7
Arrange the sweet potatoes evenly spaced on the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size and thickness of the potatoes.
Step 8
Check for doneness by piercing the largest potato with a fork or a skewer. When done, it should glide in easily to the center of the sweet potato.
Step 9
Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Serve hot, either sliced open with your favorite dairy-free toppings or on the side of your main dish.
