Step 1

Preheat oven to 400°F. Rinse, scrub and pat dry the sweet potatoes.

Step 2

Place the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet that has been lined with foil (easy clean up!). Bake for 45-55 minutes, until a sharp knife easily inserts into the center of the potatoes, and they are soft and tender if you give them a squeeze. Use a clean kitchen towel to squeeze them.

Step 3

Slice the potatoes open and fill with your desired seasonings and toppings.
