Ingredients

Servings
  • 3 sweet potato
  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil more or less to taste, or olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt more or less to taste, sea salt
  • Toppings of choice see above for ideas

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Clean potatoes: Rinse and scrub sweet potatoes, pat dry. Use a fork to poke holes in each potato. I like to do 4-8 holes, depending on how big the potato is.
  3. Rub a little bit of oil on each potato and sprinkle with sea salt. Place potatoes in a baking dish or rimmed baking sheet and place in the oven.
  4. Bake: Bake for 60-80 minutes depending on how big your potatoes are. Flip the potatoes over about halfway through cooking. You'll know they're done when a knife easily slides through the flesh.
  5. Once cooked through, remove from the oven, cut open and top with your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • You can totally skip the oil and sea salt if you want. The sweet potato skin won't be as crisp, but the baked sweet potatoes will still be delicious.
