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.
