Ingredients

• 4 pieces medium sweet potatoes
• 1 spray olive oil spray
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Thoroughly wash and scrub the sweet potatoes to remove any dirt.

Step 3

Using a fork, pierce the sweet potatoes 6-8 times evenly to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Lightly spray the sweet potatoes with olive oil spray. This will help the skin crisp up without adding much fat.

Step 5

Sprinkle sea salt, black pepper, and ground cinnamon over the sweet potatoes, evenly covering all sides.

Step 6

Place the sweet potatoes directly on the middle oven rack, with a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil set on a lower rack to catch any drippings.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45-55 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork and are soft on the inside.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve warm, either plain or with your favorite low-fat toppings such as a sprinkle of more cinnamon or a small dollop of yogurt.
