Cut the sweet potatoes in half and drizzle the flesh with lemon juice to prevent it from oxidizing. Score the flesh.
Combine the olive oil, salt, pepper, herbes de Provence, and Espelette pepper. Brush the flesh of the sweet potatoes with this mixture.
Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 40 to 50 minutes (depending on their size) in a preheated convection oven at 180°C (350°F).
Meanwhile, prepare the Skyr sauce:
Combine Skyr, salt, pepper, chopped chives, lemon juice, and olive oil.
Check that the sweet potatoes are cooked through: the flesh should be very tender. And there you have it—the meal is ready!
FAQ ❓
How do you get perfectly baked sweet potatoes?
To get perfectly baked sweet potatoes, be sure to cut them in half and brush them with a mixture of olive oil, salt, pepper, and spices before baking them at 180°C (350°F) for 40 to 50 minutes.
How important is olive oil in this recipe?
Olive oil not only adds flavor, but also helps the outside become crisp while keeping the inside tender.
Can you add other spices to vary the flavors?
Yes, you can experiment with other spices, such as paprika or cumin, or even fresh herbs, to customize the flavor of the sweet potatoes.
Why use Skyr in the sauce?
