Ingredients

2 medium sweet potatoes, washed and scrubbed (each of my potatoes weighed about 130g)
1 tsp olive oil spray (5g)
few pinches of coarse or fine sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with a mist of olive oil while the oven preheats
Wash, scrub, then dry the sweet potatoes. Cut them in half lengthwise and spray with a light mist of olive oil.
Place the sweet potatoes cut-side down on the parchment paper and sprinkle the tops with salt. Roast them in the pre-heated oven for about 25-30 minutes (depending on the size of course). Flip them over and the interiors will be soft, and the edges a little browned and caramelized when done.
Let the sweet potatoes cool for a minute or two then serve and enjoy!

Notes

The sweet potatoes will shrink when they bake so a serving of two halves of roasted sweet potato will be about 100g even though the original sweet potato was 130g. It may shrink more or less depending on cook-time, your oven, etc. If you want to be very precise with macros, you can make sure you know which 130g of raw sweet potatoes is designated for you, and then it doesn’t matter what they weigh after being baked, as long as you grab that portion.
