Serve
Skip the oil rub before baking to reduce fat. The skin will be less crispy but still delicious. Load with fresh salsa or steamed veggies instead of heavy toppings.
If short on time, microwave the pierced potato for 5-7 minutes first, then rub with oil and bake in the oven at 425°F (220°C) for 15-20 minutes to crisp up the skin.
Serve with simple vegan toppings like dairy-free butter and a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for a 'cheesy' flavor.

Absolutely. You can bake them ahead of time. Let them cool completely and store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, place them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for 15-20 minutes to restore the crispy skin.
