Directions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 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.
- 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.
Leftover Storage
If you happen to have any leftovers (although I doubt there will be any!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave before serving.
