Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt.
Step 3
Using a fork, prick each sweet potato 4 to 5 times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Rub each sweet potato with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated. This helps the skin to become crispy.
Step 5
Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each one.
Step 6
Sprinkle sea salt and ground black pepper evenly over the sweet potatoes. If you like a slightly sweet flavor, sprinkle the optional ground cinnamon as well.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
Step 8
Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before handling.
Step 9
Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy on their own. Feel free to garnish with fresh herbs or a squeeze of lemon juice for added flavor.
