Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Rub the sweet potatoes all over with a thin film of olive oil and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Roast the sweet potatoes for 45–50 minutes, until a fork slides through the thickest part with no resistance and the skins are slightly wrinkled. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes — just enough to handle.
