Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400F.
If you want to bake your sweet potatoes as a whole, wash them well, then poke them with a fork all over and place them on a baking sheet.
Measure their circumference and then bake for:
9" circumference = 45 min
10" circumference = 60 min
11" circumference = 75 min
If you want to bake them cut up, wash them and then either peel or not and cut them into whatever shape you like (rounds, wedges, cubes) and make sure they are no thicker than 1" so they bake quickly.
Preheat your baking sheet to make it non-stick and lightly oil your cut-up sweet potato in a bowl. Then place the cut-up sweet potato on the hot baking sheet leaving space between each piece. If you crowd your baking sheet steam builds and the sweet potato doesn't roast properly.
Bake 15-20 minutes on one side, then flip and bake another 15-20 minutes on the other depending on how firm or soft you want your sweet potato to be.
Put under the broiler for 2-5 minutes if you like your sweet potato a bit burnt.
