Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes under running water and pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato a few times over its surface. This helps the steam escape while they bake.
Step 4
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes and rub them so they are evenly coated. Sprinkle sea salt and ground black pepper all over the sweet potatoes.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender. The exact time may vary depending on the size of your sweet potatoes.
Step 7
Once done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 8
Cut a slit along the top of each sweet potato and fluff the insides with a fork. Serve warm, and enjoy!
