Best Baked Sweet Potato Halves Recipes
BAKED SWEET POTATO HALVES
I have been making roasted sweet potato rounds that are delicious, but they require turning often during the cooking process. Once, I could not be there for the frequent turning and did this instead. It came out so well until now I always do it this way. I want to share this "recipe" because we really enjoy them, and it could not...

Steps:
- 1. Preheat the oven to 375.
- 2. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray.
- 3. Thoroughly wash the sweet potato, cut it in half, lightly oil the cut side, and put it cut-side down on the foil. (I count on one potato to make two servings, so use as many as you need.)
- 4. Cook for 45 minutes, turn it cut-side up, and cook it for 15 minutes more. Test for doneness with a toothpick. (I have been using fairly large potatoes to make two servings. Smaller potatoes would probably be done sooner.)
BAKED SWEET POTATOES
Sweet potatoes are in the same family as other potatoes but cooking them requires a different approach to get the fluffy interior and sweet caramelized flavor we all love. After testing several techniques-wrapping in foil, pricking and not pricking, using a roasting pan-we found the following method delivered on all fronts, with minimal effort. Pricking with a fork allows steam to release and the potato flesh to separate from the skin, something that didn't always happen otherwise. Baking the potatoes on a wire rack nested in a baking sheet also helped the potatoes cook more evenly (and made cleaning up much easier). Lastly, allowing the potatoes to rest in the turned-off oven for 30 minutes after baking allowed the flavors to develop even further, though you can skip this step if you are short on time.

Steps:
- Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with foil, then set a wire rack inside the baking sheet.
- Prick each of the sweet potatoes 5 times with a fork and place on top of the prepared rack, keeping space between potatoes to allow heat to circulate. Bake the sweet potatoes until a paring knife can easily go through without resistance, about 1 hour. Turn the oven off and let the potatoes rest inside for 30 minutes more. Remove from the oven and cut each potato in half lengthwise. Season with salt and pepper and top with butter if using.
ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Put the sweet potato halves in a large bowl and set aside. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the sugar and allspice and stir until melted and combined. Pour the spiced butter over the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss to coat. Put the potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Roast until the potatoes are tender, turning once, about 45 minutes depending on the size of the potatoes. Transfer to a warmed platter and drizzle over any accumulated pan juices. Taste and adjust for seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.
