Perfect Baked Sweet Potato

Print Recipe

A simple, foolproof method for baking sweet potatoes to tender, caramelized perfection - no foil required.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes (about 8 ounces each)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
  2. Scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat dry. Pierce each potato several times with a fork. Rub with olive oil and sprinkle with salt.
  3. Place potatoes on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until very tender, about 45-60 minutes, depending on size. Let cool slightly before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, split the baked sweet potatoes and top with butter, cinnamon, or a sprinkle of brown sugar. Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated. Baking without foil allows the skin to crisp up nicely.
