Make sure that you do not go all the way through and instead only cut down about three-fourths of the way.
Once you have done this, brush your sweet potatoes with the veggie oil and season with salt & pepper before putting the potatoes on a pan and bake for 30 to 40 minutes.
After this time passes, increase your oven’s temperature to 450 degrees.
You can use various toppings to make the dish more delicious, including melted butter, ground cinnamon, chopped pecans, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and kosher salt.
Place whatever toppings you use on the sweet potatoes and bake them from eight to ten minutes.
Finally, remove the potatoes from the oven, and enjoy!
This will definitely change the way you make sweet potatoes forevermore!
