how long to bake sweet potato at 400

Baking a sweet potato at 400°F (200°C) typically takes about 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the size of the sweet potato. Here’s a more detailed breakdown:

• Small sweet potatoes (about 5-6 ounces): 45 minutes.
• Medium sweet potatoes (about 8-10 ounces): 50-55 minutes.
• Large sweet potatoes (about 12-14 ounces): 60 minutes.

To ensure doneness, check if the sweet potato is soft when pierced with a fork or knife. If it’s still firm, bake for a few more minutes and check again. Let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
