Maple Garlic Baked Sweet Potatoes
Fluffy baked sweet potatoes, melting butter, and Great North Maple Garlic Seasoning come together in a simple side that hits all the right sweet and savory notes.
A hot baked sweet potato needs little embellishment to become something memorable.

Yield: 4 servings
- Choose similar sizes. Sweet potatoes of roughly equal size will finish baking at the same time.
- Bake until truly tender. Give the potatoes enough time for their natural sugars to caramelize and their centers to become soft and fluffy.
- Season while hot. Sprinkle on Great North Maple Garlic Seasoning immediately after opening the potatoes so its sweet, garlicky flavor mingles with the melting butter.
