Ingredients
  

  • medium sweet potatoes

Instructions
 

  • Pre heat oven to 375°F. Wash sweet potatoes very well and cut in half lengthwise.
  • Place potatoes cut side down on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes. The size of your potatoes will affect baking time. You know they are finished when they slightly squish when pressed and have some caramelized sugars seen oozing from the edges.
  • Turn off oven and let the potatoes rest for 10 minutes before removing from oven.

Notes

Storage- After allowing sweet potatoes to completely cool, store them in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Left over potatoes are delicious served cold or reheated!
