Roasted Whole Sweet Potato

Ingredients

• 2–4 medium sweet potatoes
• 1–2 tsp olive oil (optional)
• Pinch of sea salt (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat oven
   Set to 400°F (204°C).
2. Prep potatoes
   • Wash and scrub well
   • Pat dry
   • Pierce each potato 4–6 times with a fork (prevents bursting)
3. Optional oil + salt
   • Rub lightly with olive oil for crispier skin
   • Sprinkle a little salt if desired
4. Roast
   • Place directly on oven rack or on a baking sheet
   • Roast for 45–60 minutes
   • Larger potatoes may take up to 70 minutes
5. Check doneness
   • Easily pierced with a knife
   • Skin looks slightly wrinkled
   • Some caramelization may ooze out (that’s flavor)

Flavor Variations

Savory

• Grass-fed butter + sea salt
• Cinnamon + pinch of cumin
• Tahini + lemon + garlic

Sweet

• Cinnamon + raw honey or maple syrup
• Coconut yogurt + berries
• Almond butter + a dash of vanilla

Pro Tips

• For extra caramelization, roast at 425°F for the last 10 minutes
• Wrap in foil if you prefer softer skin (less crisp)
• Store in fridge up to 4 days—great for quick meals
