Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Pierce each sweet potato several times with a fork. This allows steam to escape and prevents them from bursting.

- Place the sweet potatoes directly on the oven rack or on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skin is slightly crisp and the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork.
- Remove from oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Slice open and serve hot.
Notes
