Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper or foil
- Fork
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes medium
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon sea salt or kosher salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for super easy cleanup.
- Thoroughly wash and dry your sweet potatoes. Use a fork to poke about 8 holes all over each potato – this helps them steam and cook perfectly.
- Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil, then sprinkle generously with salt. Gently rub the oil and salt all over each potato's skin, ensuring an even coating.
- Place the seasoned sweet potatoes on your prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 45 minutes, or until they feel tender when pierced with a fork. Cooking time can vary based on potato size.
- Let the baked sweet potatoes cool for 5 minutes before slicing them open. Top with your favorite healthy additions, or enjoy them plain for a naturally sweet and satisfying treat!
