Achieve the perfect baked sweet potato with a tender, fluffy interior and a delicious, caramelized skin. This simple, hands-off method creates a versatile and healthy side dish that pairs well with almost any meal.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
Scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat them completely dry with a paper towel.
Using a fork, pierce each sweet potato 5-6 times all over. This allows steam to escape during baking.
Place the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, then use your hands to rub it evenly over the entire surface of each potato. Sprinkle with coarse sea salt and black pepper.
Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until the skins are slightly crisp and the flesh is completely tender when pierced with a knife. The exact time will depend on the size of your potatoes.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 5 minutes. Slice open lengthwise, fluff the inside with a fork, and serve hot with your favorite toppings.

Before baking, rub the potatoes with 1/2 tsp of garlic powder and 1/2 tsp of dried rosemary along with the salt and pepper.
After baking, top with a pat of butter, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of maple syrup.
For a faster version, pierce the potato and microwave on high for 5-7 minutes until tender. Then, brush with oil and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes to crisp the skin.
Omit the olive oil and simply bake the potatoes plain after piercing them. The skin won't be as crispy but it will be just as delicious.
