Baked Sweet Potatoes

Here is the best way to bake sweet potatoes. The sweet potatoes turn out fluffy and tender every time!
Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time45 minutes
Total Time50 minutes

Ingredients

  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Butter, optional

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F.
  • While the oven is preheating, rinse the sweet potatoes and pat dry. Wrap sweet potatoes with foil and place on a baking sheet.
  • Place sweet potatoes in oven and bake for 45-60 minutes, until tender. The baking time depends on their size, large sweet potatoes will take longer than small sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are done when you give them a squeeze and they are soft. 
  • Serve as desired! We like ours with butter, salt, and pepper, but they are also delicious with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.
