how long to bake sweet potatoes at 325
To bake sweet potatoes at 325°F, follow these guidelines based on size:
- Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
- Prepare the sweet potatoes by washing and poking them with a fork a few times to allow steam to escape. Optionally, wrap in foil for even cooking.
- Season if desired (e.g., olive oil, salt, pepper, spices).
- Bake according to size:
- Small sweet potatoes: 60-75 minutes.
- Medium sweet potatoes: 75-90 minutes.
- Large sweet potatoes: 90-120 minutes.
- Check for doneness by inserting a fork; it should slide in easily.
- Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
This method works well for lower temperature baking, ensuring tender results.
