Analysis

The hook — as said out loud
Once you make your sweet potatoes this way, you will never go back.
The script — as said out loud
Once you make your sweet potatoes this way, you will never go back. They turn out so crispy and caramelized and actually tastes like candy. We're going to cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, taking my rings off for the next step. Okay, I like to use coconut oil, but feel free to use any type of oil. Avocado oil, olive oil, whatever you want. I just grab the oil and generously lather it on each side just so it's really well coated. Your hands and rub them on both sides. Sprinkle the face side of the sweet potatoes with some slinky sea salt. Place it face side down into the oven at 375 for about 30 to 35 minutes.
