Method

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Thoroughly clean the sweet potatoes and remove any dirt or grit.
Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and place them on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
Bake the sweet potatoes for 45-50 minutes until completely tender. You should easily be able to stick a skewer of toothpick into the thickest part.
Once the potatoes are tender, remove them from the oven.
Let the potatoes cool slightly (for 5 minutes) and then use a sharp knife to split the top of the potato open and give it a gentle squeeze.
Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
