How long do you bake a sweet potato at 350F?

As you adjust the temperature, you also need to adjust the baking time. This sweet potato recipe calls for 400F and 30 minutes for halved sweet potatoes. You’ll need longer to bake them at 350F, and they probably won’t get as crispy on the outside either.

How do I make sweet potato fries?

You can make sweet potato fries by cutting your sweet potatoes into thin sticks before tossing them in oil. They won’t need to roast as long either – start with 20 minutes and check to see if they’re cooked through and crisped to your liking.

Do I have to peel sweet potatoes before baking them?

You can peel sweet potatoes before chopping them, but you don’t have to. You can just wash the sweet potatoes and bake them with the skins on.

Do I need to poke sweet potatoes with a fork before baking them?

I’ve never bothered with poking holes in sweet potatoes before baking them, especially since I cut them in half first.

Ingredients

Scale

3 lbs sweet potatoes
1 Tbsp coconut oil
½ – 1 tsp salt

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise and place in a large bowl.
Measure oil over the sweet potatoes and using your hands, rub the oil over the entire surface of each potato.
Place the potatoes on the baking sheet cut-side down. Sprinkle half the salt over the potatoes.
Flip the potatoes over and sprinkle the remaining salt over the potatoes.
Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork tender.

Notes

Cooking the sweet potatoes skin-side-down helps them not stick to the baking sheet. If you decide to peel the sweet potato skin before baking, line your baking sheet with parchment paper so they don’t stick and for easy clean up!
If all you can find are really large sweet potatoes, cut them into quarters (or even eighths!) before coating them with oil and baking them. Larger pieces will take longer to cook.
You can also make sweet potato fries. Simply chop your sweet potatoes into sticks before coating them with oil. You won’t need to bake them as long either – start with 20 minutes and check to see if they’re cooked through and crisped to your liking.
Some people love to top their sweet potatoes with brown sugar or a drizzle of maple syrup. I’m quite happy with just a pat of butter!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
