Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon powder (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Step 2
Rinse and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean towel.
Step 3
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato 5 to 6 times to allow steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potatoes, then sprinkle them with sea salt, black pepper, and optional cinnamon for added flavor.
Step 6
Rub the seasonings and olive oil all over the sweet potatoes to ensure they are evenly coated.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. You can test this by inserting a fork into the center. It should slide in easily.
Step 8
Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve as a delicious and healthy side dish or as a base for your favorite toppings. Enjoy!
