EASY BAKED SWEET POTATO (HOW TO BAKE SWEET POTATOES)

Preheat oven to 400F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Set aside.
Wash and thoroughly dry sweet potatoes. Poke several holes in each potato with a fork - I do 8 pokes.
Drizzle sweet potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle on salt. Gently rub the olive oil and salt onto the sweet potato skin making sure to cover the entire potato.
Place sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until the potatoes easily yield to an inserted fork or knife.
Let cool for five minutes before splitting open and topping with your favorite toppings.
