Directions

5 mins to prep

2 hours to bake

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 220°C.

  2. Step 2

    Bake the sweet potato in the oven for about 2 hours. (If you’re using a smaller or mid-sized potato, check on it after an hour or so to ensure it doesn’t burn. It’s finished when a fork easily slides into the center)

  3. Step 3

    Slice your sweet potato down the middle, lengthwise, being extra careful as it will be steaming hot!

  4. Step 4

    Season with salt and pink peppercorns, and serve with your favourite toppings :)

Variation

Some other great toppings include roasted chickpeas, chopped walnuts or toasted pepitas.
