Ingredients
  

  • Sweet Potatoes
  • Butter or vegan butter
  • Sea salt
  • Chives
  • Greek yogurt or tzatziki
  • Guacamole
  • Creamy avocado cilantro lime dressing
  • Any of these stuffing ideas!

Equipment

  • oven
  • baking sheet
  • fork
  • foil

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and place a piece of foil on a baking sheet. Use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potatoes, set them on the baking sheet, and roast for 40 to 50 minutes, or until puffed up and soft inside when pierced with a fork.
  2. Serve with desired toppings.

Notes

You do not have to peel sweet potatoes before roasting; the skin is edible and becomes tender when roasted, adding fiber and nutrients. Toppings can include savory options like Greek yogurt, chives, guacamole, black beans, feta, or chili. Sweet options include butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, or pecans. Spicy options like sriracha mayo or jalapeños also work well. For a shortcut, you can microwave a whole sweet potato for 5-10 minutes (after poking holes) until soft, which is great for mashed sweet potato recipes.
