Ingredients
4
medium sweet potatoes
(5.5 ounces each, scrubbed clean)
kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
optional toppings: butter
(coconut oil, cinnamon, salsa, yogurt)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425F. On a baking sheet, (lined with foil for easy clean-up if you wish) prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork.
Bake until tender, or until a fork inserted in the thickest part has no resistance, 45 to 50 minutes.
Let cool, then split the tops open with a knife. Season with salt and pepper and add your favorite toppings.
