(Healthy, Nutritious & Easy Meal or Side Dish)
Baked sweet potato in its skin retains all nutrients and is a delicious delicacy, prepared very easily with minimal effort. The result is a healthy and filling meal.
Soft inside, with a buttery texture, it literally melts when fully cooked. Adding a little butter enhances the flavor, and fresh thyme, a pinch of salt, and black pepper round off the taste perfectly.
