Drizzled with herbed butter, sprinkled with Parmesan, and crisped to perfection, they make an appealing side dish to your fall dinner.
SERVES: 4
Ingredients
- 4 small sweet potatoes
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, divided
- 4 cloves garlic, pressed
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Directions
1. Heat the oven to 400°F. Use about one tablespoon of butter to grease a large sheet pan with a rim. Score the skin of each sweet potato with a paring knife, cutting four evenly spaced lines from tip to tip. This will make it easier to flatten the rounds after baking.
2. Cut into 1 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Place the rounds on the sheet pan, cover tightly with foil or another baking pan, and roast for about 20 minutes, until soft when pierced with a paring knife. Remove the pan from the oven, and set the oven on broil. Use a fork to flatten each slice to about a 3/4-inch-thick round.
3. Melt the remaining butter in a small pan; add garlic and rosemary, and stir for a few seconds. Use a spoon to drizzle a little bit of the butter mixture over the sweet potato rounds. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and Parmesan cheese, and place under the broiler for 2 minutes or so, until crispy and browned.
Serve hot.
