Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the sweet potatoes.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet and bake for 45-60 minutes until they are tender when pierced with a fork.

- Serve and Enjoy: Serve the bowls warm for a nourishing and flavorful breakfast.
