Cooking Sweet Potatoes in the Oven
List of ingredients:
Sweet potatoes (as many as you want)
Thin sheets of aluminum
Steps to follow:
Heat up your oven before using it.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Get the sweet potatoes ready.
Wash the sweet potatoes well.
Slice the ingredients into equal pieces for faster cooking, or leave them whole.
Cover with aluminum foil.
Wrap each entire sweet potato or the pieces securely in aluminum foil. The foil keeps the moisture inside the sweet potatoes, making them cook in steam and stay moist.
Cook in the oven.
Put the sweet potatoes wrapped in foil on a baking sheet and place them in the oven.
Cook the sweet potatoes for around 30-45 minutes if cut into pieces, or 60-75 minutes if left whole, until they are completely soft.
To help or assist.
Carefully take out the sweet potatoes from the foil (be careful of the hot steam), and serve right away with your preferred toppings or extras.
