Notes
Scrub sweet potato’s skin: To ensure sweet potato’s skin is clean and safe to eat, you can scrub its skin with the help of a vegetable brush while you’re washing.
Use parchment paper to avoid clean up: Sweet potatoes let out a little juice when baking, which dries on the baking tray and makes it hard to clean. Using parchment paper to line your baking tray will save you up time!
Dry very well before baking: This will ensure pleasant and crispy skin.
