Adding sweet potatoes to your diet is an easy healthy habit to pick up when you're trying to eat healthily—the vegetable is a total superfood, packed with vitamin C and fiber. Baking them whole in the oven is arguably the easiest way to prepare them (if you're pressed for time, you can always microwave your sweet potato), and makes them a perfect base for all types of toppings. We love them stuffed with barbecue chicken or as a bunless sloppy joe. Check out our easy instructions below for baking the perfect baked sweet potato—because in our opinion, nothing beats one topped with a big pat of butter and some salt and pepper.

Ingredients

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • Kosher salt

  • 4 tbsp. Butter

  • 4 Sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean

Method

  • 01
    Preheat oven to 425℉. On a baking sheet, prick sweet potatoes all over with a fork.
  • 02
    Bake until tender, 45 to 50 minutes.
  • 03
    Let cool, then split the tops open with a knife and top with a pat of butter.
  • 04
    Season with salt and pepper and serve.
