Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C).
Step 2
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
Step 3
Using a fork, prick each sweet potato several times. This allows steam to escape during baking.
Step 4
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil. Use your hands to rub the oil all over the potatoes to ensure they're evenly coated.
Step 6
Sprinkle sea salt and black pepper over the sweet potatoes.
Step 7
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender. You can test this by inserting a fork or knife into the thickest part of the potato; it should slide in easily.
Step 8
Once cooked, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a delicious side or stuff with your favorite Whole30 toppings for a hearty meal.
