Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Prepare the sweet potatoes. Using a fork, pierce the sweet potatoes several times to allow steam to escape during baking. This step ensures that your sweet potatoes won’t burst in the oven.
Coat the sweet potatoes with melted butter or olive oil for a crispy exterior. Season generously with sea salt and pepper.
Bake the sweet potatoes directly on the prepared baking sheet for about 45-60 minutes, depending on their size. You’ll know they’re ready when you can easily insert a knife or fork into the center, and the skin has developed a slightly crisp, caramelized texture.
Serve and customize. Once the sweet potatoes are baked to perfection, slice them open and fluff the insides with a fork. Top with butter or any of your favorite toppings, such as a dollop of sour cream, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of cinnamon and brown sugar for added sweetness.
