∙ 15y agoThat depends on how soft you like them, because if you bake the heck out of them, they turn mushy. However, some people prefer them that way. Every food can be over cooked and even burned. However, sweet potatoes can get very dried out before burning. If you find they've been over cooked (they will look and feel leathery, if they're whole) you may be able to scoop out the soft centers and discard the outer portions.
