  1. Wash and dry sweet potatoes, then prick each one 2-3 times with a fork.

  2. Place the sweet potatoes on a foil square in the middle of the oven. Turn the oven on to 425.

  3. Bake for 45 minutes for sweet potatoes 2-3 inches in diameter. For sweet potatoes up to 4 inches in diameter, bake for an hour. For larger sweet potatoes, bake for 75 min.

  4. After the time has elapsed, turn off the oven but don’t open the door. Allow the sweet potatoes to sit in the oven for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour. Serve.
