Ingredients
- ½ -1 sweet potato per person
- foil
Instructions
- Put a small sheet of foil on the rack below the rack the sweet potatoes are on to catch any of the syrup that may escape from the sweet potatoes. For easy cleanup, simply remove the foil and throw it away after baking the sweet potatoes.
- Don't preheat the oven.
- Prick your sweet potatoes each 2-3 times with a fork, then place them directly on the oven rack in the middle of the oven, above the foil.
- Turn the oven on to 425°.
- For sweet potatoes that are 2-3" in diameter, bake for 45 minutes
- For sweet potatoes that are up to 4" in diameter, bake for an hour.
- For extra large sweet potatoes, bake for an hour and 15 minutes.
- After the time has elapsed, don't open the oven but turn it off.
- Let the sweet potatoes sit in the oven for at least 30 minutes but up to an hour.
- Remove from the oven and eat immediately, or remove the skin and store in a container in the fridge.
