Ingredients

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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Step 2

Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.

Step 3

Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 4

Lightly spray each sweet potato with olive oil spray, ensuring a thin, even coating. This helps in crisping the skin.

Step 5

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

Step 6

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

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until they are tender and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Step 8

Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the baked sweet potatoes as a side dish, or enjoy them as a light and healthy main course.
