Ingredients
- 4 large sweet potatoes skins scrubbed but not peeled
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- butter for serving, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a sheet pan with parchment paper, set aside.
- Scrub the sweet potatoes so no turn remains and dry the potatoes with paper towels or a kitchen towel.
- Lay the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet pan and piece the potatoes 4-5 times with a fork over the body of the potato.
- Massage the skins with an equal amount of oil, kosher salt, and black pepper.
- Bake for 30 minutes, carefully flip the potato and continue baking for another 30 minutes or until fork tender.
- Let potatoes rest for 5 minutes, cut open, and serve with your desired topping and spices.

Notes
- Try to buy potatoes that are similar in size so they bake up at the same time.
- I'm topping these sweet potatoes with butter you could optionally top them with brown sugar and nuts, marshmallows, sour cream, and bacon, or smothered in chili!
