Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Step 2

Scrub the dirt off of each sweet potato. Use a fork to poke 8 to 10 sets of holes in the skins of each sweet potato for ventilation and wrap each tightly in aluminum foil.

Step 3

Place on a baking sheet to catch the juice that will inevitably leak out. Bake at 400 degrees for 1 hour, or until soft.

Step 4

Carefully remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and unwrap. Slice them each in half length-wise.

Step 5

Add 1 tablespoon melted butter to the inside of each sweet potato to top. Season with salt and pepper.
