I had these the other day at a friend’s house

Ingredients:

– 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes, cut crosswise
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 teaspoon sea salt
– 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
– Optional seasonings: dried thyme
– Optional toppings: butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, marshmallows.

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt and dry them thoroughly. Cut crosswise.

2. Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil evenly over each potato, making sure to coat them completely.

3. Sprinkle sea salt and ground black pepper over the sweet potatoes, ensuring even coverage.

4. Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 45-60 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and easily pierced with a fork (caramelized).

5. Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.

Serve them as is, or add your favorite toppings such as butter, cinnamon, brown sugar, or even marshmallows for a sweet twist.

Enjoy the warm, velvety goodness of the baked sweet potatoes with your loved ones, and savor the delightful flavors that will warm your heart and nourish your body.
