Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scrub the sweet potatoes under running water to remove any dirt, then dry them well with a towel.
- Pierce the sweet potatoes with a fork or knife to vent, then rub them with a bit of olive oil, using about a 1/2 teaspoon of oil per potato. Arrange the potatoes in a single layer on the parchment-lined baking sheet. (If you plan on eating the sweet potato skins, feel free to sprinkle them generously with salt.)
- Bake at 425ºF for 45 to 60 minutes, or until a fork can be easily inserted into the thickest part of the sweet potato. Potatoes that are 8 ounces or smaller should be done in 45 minutes, but larger potatoes will take at least 60 minutes. Err on the side of over-baking if you don't like the potatoes to be firm in the center.
- Let the sweet potatoes cool briefly on the pan, then slice and serve warm with any toppings you love. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
