Instructions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (204 degrees C).
Scrub sweet potatoes clean and cut in half. Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.
Coat sweet potatoes with olive oil. Sprinkle the salt, pepper, and Vietnamese cinnamon over the top.
Bake for 30-35 minutes until a fork easily pierces the flesh.

Notes

I really love cinnamon, so I used 1/2 tsp of cinnamon. However, if you like less cinnamon flavor, feel free to use less.
This recipe works well with any kind of cinnamon.
Depending on how thick your sweet potatoes are, they can take longer to cook. The easiest way to test if they're done is to pierce them with a fork. If the fork easily goes through without any resistance, they are done.
