Sweet Potato Out of This World

Directions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Season sweet potatoes: Sprinkle salt, dried thyme, and drizzle olive oil generously on each sweet potato half. Place them cut-side down on the baking sheet.
  4. Bake: Bake for 40 minutes or until the bottoms are crispy and golden brown.

Recipe Notes

  • For an extra kick of flavor, try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper before baking.
  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet. Make sure there is some space between each sweet potato half to ensure even cooking.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences. You can experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor profile.
