Preheat the oven to 425 F / 218 C.
Rinse and scrub sweet potatoes to remove any excess dirt. You’ll keep the sweet potato skins on.

Drizzle olive oil on the cut side. Sprinkle salt and pepper.

Bake the sweet potatoes in the oven for 30 minutes.

Notes

You can also use a fork to poke holes into the sweet potato. Then cook the entire sweet potato in the oven for 40-45 minutes. This method will take longer so I prefer slicing the sweet potatoes into halves.
