- 4 sweet potatoes
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- butter optional
Preheat your oven to 400°F. Give your sweet potatoes a good wash and scrub.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and poke 4 to 5 holes in each sweet potato with a fork or sharp knife.
Bake in the oven for approximately 60 minutes, or until soft. To test if they're done, poke them with a fork or knife. You should should feel very little resistance when inserted.
- The scrub brush I use for my sweet potatoes is a great tool to have in the kitchen for washing a variety of vegetables.
- If you don't have a good baking sheet, I highly recommend purchasing a heavy duty baking sheet that won't warp or twist in the oven.
