Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400F (200C) and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Prick your sweet potatoes a few times with a fork, place them on the baking sheet, and bake for an hour or until your sweet potatoes are soft all the way through. Test by piercing with a sharp knife. Cooking time will vary depending on the size of your sweet potato, but you want them nice and soft.
- In a small dish, mix together the brown sugar and spices.
- After your sweet potatoes have cooled enough to touch, slice them open lengthwise, and push together the ends a bit to squeeze them open.
- Pour half the melted butter over the squished flesh of each of your sweet potatoes. Sprinkle the sugar and spice mixture over the top.
- Crank up your broiler and put your sweet potatoes back in the oven. Allow them to cook for about 3-5 minutes, but don't go too far. You want the sugar to be bubbly and brown, but not, you know, on fire. You could also use a kitchen torch if you have one.
- Give it a few minutes to cool, then grab a fork and dig in.
