Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prick each sweet potato multiple times with a fork and bake on a baking sheet for about 45-60 minutes.
Let the sweet potatoes cool for 10-15 minutes, slice them in half, and scoop out the flesh into a mixing bowl.
In the bowl with the sweet potato flesh, add butter, brown sugar, and spices. Mix until creamy.
Spoon the creamy filling back into the sweet potato skins.
Return the filled sweet potato skins to the oven and bake for an additional 25 minutes.
Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
