Step 2

Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Place the sweet potatoes on a cutting board and pierce each one with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape during baking.

Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and garlic powder over each sweet potato, ensuring they are seasoned on all sides.

Step 6

Place the seasoned sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 7

Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes or until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the baked sweet potatoes from the oven and allow them to cool for a few minutes.

Step 9

Slice each baked sweet potato open lengthwise and fluff the interior with a fork.

Step 10

Top with a sprinkle of fresh thyme leaves before serving.
