  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking. This allows the steam to escape, preventing the potatoes from bursting.
  • Toss the sweet potatoes in a mixture of melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to create a flavorful glaze.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes in a preheated oven at 400°F for 45-50 minutes, or until they are fork-tender.
  • Baste the sweet potatoes with the glaze every 15-20 minutes during baking to ensure an even coating and a caramelized crust.
  • If you prefer crispier edges, increase the oven temperature to 425°F for the last 10-15 minutes of baking.
  • Serve the candied sweet potatoes warm or at room temperature as a delicious side dish or a sweet treat.
