Preheat the oven to 400F.
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Set aside.
Wash and dry the sweet potatoes well. Make several holes in each potato with a fork. I make 8 holes.
Sprinkle the sweet potatoes with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Gently rub the olive oil and salt over the skin of the sweet potato making sure to cover the entire potato.
Place the sweet potatoes on the baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes or until the potatoes give easily to a fork or knife inserted.
Cool for five minutes before opening and covering with your favorite ingredients.
