Ingredients

3 sweet potatoes
2 teaspoons vegetable oil, or as needed
6 tablespoons brown sugar
6 teaspoons salted butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking dish with aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Use a fork to pierce the sweet potatoes; rub with oil and place them in the prepared dish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through. Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes.
Slice the baked sweet potatoes lengthwise and cut small slits into the flesh. Sprinkle each half with 1 tablespoon of brown sugar and top with 1 teaspoon of butter.
