Cooking for

—1 to 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 8 to 12 ounces each)

Steps

1
Preheat the oven to 230°C with a rack in the middle and another rack directly below it. Line the interior of a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper to catch any sweet potato drippings.
2
To prepare the sweet potatoes, scrub them clean with a vegetable brush under running water. Using a fork, prick the sweet potatoes about 6 to 8 times each, about ¼ inch deep.
3
Place the sweet potatoes directly on the middle rack, and place the prepared baking sheet on the rack below to catch any drippings.
4
Bake for 45 to 65 minutes, until the sweet potatoes yield to a gentle squeeze (if the potatoes are starting to drip from their pierced holes, that’s a good sign to start checking them for doneness). Serve as desired.
