Directions
-
Step 1
Preheat oven to 220°C.
-
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)
-
Step 3
Slice your sweet potato down the middle, lengthwise, being extra careful as it will be steaming hot!
-
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.
