Steps

1

Preheat over to 400°F, in the time before over is ready, pierce sweet potatoes with a fork. This prevents the potato from exploding.
2

Once oven is preheated place sweet potato into heated oven for 45 minutes. You want to potato to be firm enough to cut, in other words, not mushy.
3

After 45 minutes, remove sweet potato, set them to cool...so about 15 minutes.
4

When cool enough for you to handle, peel all sweet potatoes and cut into chunks.
5

Place pieces into an 8x8 sized pan. Do not place all pieces together, layer the pieces. In between the layers, sprinkler salt.
6

7

Then add all spices, followed by the butter, stir until butter melts.
8

Once butter melts, pour mixture over sweet potatoes and place in oven
9

Bake for 30 minutes, basting the potatoes every-so-often for flavor.
