You need little to no cooking skills to make them- all you do is preheat the oven to 400, scrub the sweet potatoes under running water and pierce them with a fork a few times. Pop them in the oven on a baking pan (or even just a piece of tinfoil) for 40-60 minutes (depending on their size) and voila! Dinner is served. For accompaniment, slice them open and sprinkle with coarse salt and pepper, and (if you feel like it) a dollop of butter or sour cream. Or do what I do and pour a little orange juice over them, and top with caramelized onions. Just be prepared to die from deliciousness-overload.

I love to actually season the skin with olive oil salt and pepper before I pop them in the oven. It makes the outer parts crispy and delicious!
Yum-a, yum-a. I do that, too, sometimes. Thanks for reminding me! xxoo
And if you're really lazy, like I am, you can just microwave them. Lil-major point you forgot to mention...they are seriously lo-cal.
Good point! They are only 120-160 calories a pop (depending on their size-duh). Not to get all Weight Watchers-y on you. How long do you microwave them for?
