Baked sweet potatoes are so healthy for you and are so delicious too. You can eat them plain, or top with butter and salt and pepper.
6 medium sweet potatoes, washed and unpeeled
6 T. unsalted butter or margarine, cut into 6 pats
1/2 t. kosher salt
1/8 t. freshly ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil.
Pierce sweet potatoes several times with the tines of a fork. Place them on the baking sheet.
Bake about 45 minutes or until tender and can be pierced easily with a knife or fork.
Cut a slit in the top of each sweet potato. Top each with 1 tablespoon butter; season with the salt and pepper.
