Tipps

Sweet Potato Selection

Choose sweet potatoes that are firm, with smooth skin. They should be free of cracks, bruises, or soft spots. Smaller sweet potatoes tend to be sweeter and creamier, while larger ones are starchier.

Poking Holes

Poking holes in the sweet potatoes before baking helps the steam escape and prevents them from bursting in the oven. You can use a fork or a skewer for this.

Seasoning Sweet Potatoes

Rubbing the sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, and pepper before baking helps to season them and gives them a crispy, flavorful skin.

Baking Time

Baking times for sweet potatoes can vary depending on their size. The potatoes are done when they are soft and can be easily pierced with a fork.

Using Fresh Herbs

Adding fresh herbs at the end ensures they retain their color and flavor. You can experiment with other herbs like rosemary or thyme for a different flavor profile.

Serving Suggestions

These baked sweet potatoes make a great side dish for grilled meats or fish. You could also serve them as a main course with a side of salad.

Storing Leftovers

Leftover baked sweet potatoes can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. You can reheat them in the oven or microwave.
