Notes
It's essential to select a sweet potato that is on the larger size. This ensures that the filling will fit inside both halves.
The cooking time sweet potatoes varies based on the size and thickness. Larger or thicker sweet potatoes will naturally require more time in the oven than smaller or thinner ones. It's important to adjust your cooking time accordingly.
