Notes
Choose thinner sweet potatoes. While baking, the heat will evenly cook even the very center of the thinner potatoes, getting them all hot and caramelized; whereas with the fat potatoes, the outsides will be done well before the centers have a chance to cook through.
Make sure to use a preheated oven - otherwise you'll have increase cooking time.
Baking at a higher temperature will really caramelize the natural sugars in the sweet potatoes.
Garnish with fresh cilantro, sour cream and lemon.
