Main Ingredients
  • 4 sweet potatoes medium-sized
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or other cooking oil

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Fork
  • Knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes, then pierce each one several times with a fork and cut them in half lengthwise.
  3. Drizzle the sweet potato halves with olive oil, ensuring they are evenly coated, and place them cut-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Roasting
  1. Roast for 30-40 minutes until fork-tender and slightly caramelized, then flip them over and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes.
  2. Remove from the oven, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra flavor, try drizzling with honey or maple syrup after roasting. Sweet potatoes are a good source of vitamins A and C.
