Description
Deliciously simple baked sweet potatoes, perfectly seasoned with fine sea salt.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 sweet potatoes (6–12 ounces), any variety; choose similar-sized ones for even baking with few blemishes
- Fine sea salt, fine-ground Celtic sea salt, Himalayan pink salt, or a mineral-rich salt like Baha Gold
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- Wash sweet potatoes, leaving them wet.
- While still wet, liberally coat sweet potatoes on all sides with the salt. The water will help it stick. Do not use oil.
- Place sweet potatoes over a sheet pan. Prick once with a fork on the top.
- Bake until the sweet potatoes are tender in the middle, and the internal temperature reaches 205F to 212F. Timing will depend on the size of the sweet potatoes: medium sweet potatoes take 40-60 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cut the top open with a knife within 5 mins of removing from oven, fluff the flesh with a fork.
- Serve with desired toppings.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes that are similar in size for even baking.
- Experiment with different toppings for an extra touch of flavor.
