I've always baked my sweet potatoes whole and it takes forever! I tried this way this weekend and WOW total game changer! Thank you! We will be doing it like this from now on.

I will never cook sweet potatoes whole again! This is seriously the best! I used coconut oil and it turned out great. Even my 3-year-old and my 1-year-old loved it! Thank you so much for this recipe. 😋

best recipe ever that i have seen for baking sweet potatoes and how to season when done. Well done.

I made this and my wife raved and ate all but one of them in one sitting without finishing her steak. This was fantastic. I'm going to try it with an air fryer. Just have to experiment with the temp and time.

I grew up in a family with eleven kids....Irish, you know. My mother always baked them this way!!

[YonkersNY]

OMG! Perfect in only 35 minutes. Like some of the others said, I will never bake them whole again. They came out so soft.
(Don't know why someone said theirs came out like "ashes". )
Thanks!

Thanks for sharing your wisdom. Like others I always found it takes forever to cook either in the microwave or oven. Your way cuts time in half and saves energy.
