Instructions

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and dry sweet potatoes; make crosswise cuts in each, stopping 1/4 inch from the bottom.
Mix melted butter with garlic powder, salt, and pepper; set aside some for later.
Brush the butter mixture onto the slits of the sweet potatoes and place them on a baking sheet.
Bake for 30 minutes, then baste with reserved butter and bake an additional 15-20 minutes until tender and golden brown.
Garnish with herbs, serve warm.

Notes

Cut slices not too deep to keep potatoes connected at the bottom.
Similar-sized potatoes will ensure even cooking.
You can microwave sweet potatoes for a few minutes to soften before slicing.
