Making oven baked sweet potatoes is easy with this recipe! They turn out fluffy and perfectly every time then enjoy as a side dish, for meal prep or to build a delicious dinner.
Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Spray foil with nonstick spray.
Give potatoes a good scrub and then dry them completely with a paper towel. Pierce potatoes with a fork about 6-8 times.
Lay on a foil-lined baking sheet, then brush all over with olive oil. Sprinkle with coarse salt.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour, or until they are soft.
Notes
If you're short on time, you can microwave the potatoes for a few minutes ahead of time. You can also fully cook one potato in the microwave in about 5-10 minutes.
Cook at 425°F for 45 minutes for an even crispier outside.
