Yield: 4 people
Calories: 111kcal
Make perfectly baked sweet potatoes in the oven by wrapping them in foil and roasting at a moderate temperature to ensure maximum flavor.
Ingredients
- 4 (452 g) sweet potatoes, about 1 pound each
Instructions
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes - Line a large sheet pan with foil. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then wrap each one in foil. Place sweet potatoes on the sheet pan and transfer to the center rack of a cool oven.
- Bake the Sweet Potatoes - Heat oven to 375ºF (191ºC) and bake for 1 hour. Flip the potatoes over and bake until they pierce easily in the center with a knife, about 15 to 30 minutes, depending on their size.
Notes
- Checking For Doness: When the potatoes are closer to being fully cooked, they will start seeping out some sweet juices from the foil and smell caramelized. This is a good indication to start checking for doneness. The flesh should pierce easily with a knife.
- Storing: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- Reheating: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 to 20 minutes or until hot to keep the skin crisp and interior soft. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes until hot.
