Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • optional toppings: butter

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by setting your oven temperature to 425°F. Prepare a baking sheet, optionally lined with aluminum foil for easier cleanup, and use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potatoes all over their surface.

  2. 2

    Place the sweet potatoes in the oven and bake them until they are soft, which should take about 45 to 50 minutes. You’ll know they’re ready when a fork easily slides into the thickest part without any resistance.

  3. 3

    Once they have cooled down, carefully cut open the tops with a knife. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then enhance with your preferred toppings.
