Sweet potatoes are a delicious and healthy addition to any meal, but they can be difficult to cook.
Here’s the easy way to make sweet potatoes:
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly.
Before you bake, wash your sweet potatoes thoroughly. Do not use soap or scrub them with a brush–just run them under cold water and gently rub them clean with a soft cloth or sponge.
Pierce each sweet potato multiple times with a fork.
Before you bake the sweet potatoes, it’s important to pierce them multiple times with a fork. This step helps prevent the skin from bursting during baking and keeps the insides from drying out. Be sure not to cut all the way through your sweet potato with the fork–just make some holes in it!
The number of times you pierce each potato depends on how big your oven is, but generally speaking try not to go overboard with this step: one or two per potato should suffice (and don’t forget about those other parts of this recipe!).
Place on a sheet pan and bake in an oven at 375 degrees for 40 minutes, or until soft when poked.
To bake sweet potatoes, you’ll need to use a sheet pan. Place the sweet potatoes on the sheet pan and then put it in an oven set to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Bake for 40 minutes, or until soft when poked with a fork.
Sweet potatoes should be baked individually so that they don’t crowd each other or get too hot from being too close together in the oven. You shouldn’t overfill your sheet pans either because this can cause them to burn before they’re done cooking throughly which will result in mushy insides instead of fluffy ones; so try not filling them more than halfway with vegetables like these! Also make sure not use an oven temperature that is too hot (over 350 degrees) or too cold (under 300 degrees), otherwise they won’t cook evenly throughout nor will they retain their flavor as well after being cooked at such extremes! Finally remember never overcrowding your trays makes all these things easier since there’s less chance of burning anything since nothing gets trapped inside each other due to overcrowding conditions.”
Cut open and enjoy!
Once you’ve baked the sweet potatoes, you can enjoy them in many ways. Here are some suggestions:
- Cut open and eat with a fork or spoon. Scoop out the flesh of your sweet potato and enjoy it as a side dish to any meal. If desired, drizzle some melted butter over top before eating–this will add extra flavor and make your sweet potato even more delicious!
- If you’d like to mash up your sweet potatoes instead of eating them whole, try mashing them together with other ingredients such as butter (or olive oil), milk or cream cheese (or cottage cheese), cinnamon/sugar mixture…the possibilities are endless! Just remember that it’s best not to overdo it on toppings because then they won’t taste as good anymore when mixed into batter later on down below in our recipe section below where we discuss how best practices go into making sure that everything works well together without being too salty/spicy etcetera so please keep this tip in mind when making these dishes yourself at home.”
