How to bake a sweet potato
Baking is an easy method when you’re not in a rush. Baked sweet potatoes develop soft, creamy flesh and keep well for meal prep or quick snacks.
How to bake a sweet potato:
- Preheat oven to 425 °F.
- Scrub each potato and leave the skin on.
- Pierce the potato several times with a fork or knife.
- Arrange potatoes on a baking sheet (a rack on the sheet works well).
- Bake 50–60 minutes, until fork-tender.
How to roast a sweet potato
Roasting concentrates sweetness and creates caramelized edges—perfect for bowls, salads, pasta, or snacks. Roasted cubes are convenient for meal prep and add depth to many dishes.
How to roast sweet potato:
- Preheat oven to 425 °F.
- Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment.
- Scrub or peel each potato, depending on preference.
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch cubes or smaller.
- Spread in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- Roast 35–40 minutes, stirring or flipping halfway through, until caramelized and tender.
