- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon cumin

Instructions
- Scrub the sweet potatoes clean and pierce them several times on each side with a fork.

Serve these sweet potatoes with a sprinkle of fresh herbs for added freshness and taste.
Experiment with different spices to customize the flavor profile to your liking.
