This only happens in the most severe of cases, but itâs important that you are aware that this is a possibility that may occur. 1  Permanent nerve damage, especially in the wrist and upper arm, is relatively common in untreated cases of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Heat oven to 400Â° F. Pierce each sweet potato several times with the tines of a fork. Place the sweet potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet lined with foil. Bake until tender, about 45 minutes. Make a slit in the top of each sweet potato. Top with 1 tablespoon of butter and season with the salt and pepper.
Carefully spread the sweet potatoes out in a single layer on the baking sheet. (Watch out, the pan is hot!) 5 Bake: Bake for a total of 15 to 25 minutes. After the first 10 minutes, remove the baking sheet from the oven and use tongs to turn over all of the sweet potato pieces. Return to the oven and bake for another 5-15 minutes, or until they are well browned. Cooking time depends on the temperature of the oven (500F will need less cooking time than 450F) and the size and thinness of the sweet potato wedges.
