How Do You Make A Baked Sweet Potato?
If you’re tired of eating baked potatoes, a good substitute is baked sweet potatoes. Their rich color, sweetness, and texture make them a perfect side dish. Treat them like regular potatoes, but when adding spices, keep in mind their sweetness. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Wash the sweet potatoes and poke them with a fork to allow steam to escape. Put the sweet potatoes on a cookie sheet for easy cleaning afterward (sweet potatoes ooze when cooked) and place them in the oven. Cook for 45 to 65 minutes. The sweet potatoes are done when dark outside and soft inside. Slice them open and top with butter, cinnamon and sugar, salt and pepper, or paprika. They also taste great plain. You can also make roasted sweet potatoes. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small chunks. Place them in a baking dish and coat them with olive oil and spices, such as salt, pepper, oregano, rosemary, or basil. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until soft. Mix them around once or twice while baking to
