Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
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.
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.
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.
