Sweet potatoes have a naturally sweet flavor and are packed with nutrients like vitamins A and C, fiber, and potassium. They can be cooked in a variety of ways, but one of the most popular methods is to roast them in the oven. Oven-roasted sweet potatoes are soft and fluffy on the inside, with a slightly crispy exterior. They are a healthy and delicious side dish or snack.
To cook sweet potatoes in the oven, scrub the potatoes clean and poke them with a fork. This will help them to cook evenly. Place the potatoes on a baking sheet and drizzle them with olive oil. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, and any other spices you like. Roast the potatoes in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 45-60 minutes, or until they are tender.
