Salt Baked Sweet Potatoes
I saw salt baked sweet potatoes at a cafe in Israel recently and my son begged me to try it. It was only a baked sweet potato, but by baking in salt somehow it seemed more exciting. You can also just bake them on a layer of salt for a similar result. I love the sweet potato skin anyways, but when baked in salt it is even better.
Coat your sweet potatoes in kosher salt and baked them up for a more flavorful baked sweet potato, perfect with any meal. Just remove most of the salt before serving.
