Baked Sweet Potato Slices

Sweet potatoes are one of the most versatile vegetables around. They pair well with breakfast, lunch, and dinner. These baked sweet potato slices are simple to make and impressive to serve.

📝 Ingredients

• 2 lb Sweet potatoes ((or 4 medium) )
• 1 tsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 2 tbsp Dried oregano
• 2 tbsp Dried thyme
• 1 tsp Paprika ((optional) )
• 4 tbsp Olive oil
• 4 tbsp Melted butter
• 2 tbsp Parsley (fresh, Finely chopped)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat the oven tp 425°F / 220°C/ Gas Mark 6
2. 2Seasoning - In a small bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients.
3. 3Clean - Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin slices. Pat them dry with paper towels. Pro tip - Make sure the slices are dry or excess moisture will stew not roast the potatoes.
4. 4Season - Place the dry slices in a large bowl and drizzle the olive oil and seasoning. Pro tip - I like to shake the pan with the slices and seasoning, adding a little at a time.
5. 5Pan - Generously brush a 12-inch skillet or heavy bottom pan with olive oil. Layer the sweet potato slices in an accordion style making sure to fan them so they are half exposed and half under. Brush the top with melted butter. Then, cover the pan with a piece of aluminum foil. Pro tip - Make sure each potato slice gets some of the oil/butter. This will ensure they stay moist as they release steam in the oven.
6. 6Bake - Transfer to the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Then, remove the aluminum foil from the pan. Place it back in the oven and bake for another 20 minutes until you have beautiful light golden color on the edges. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.Pro tip - When entertaining, I like to add a generous brush of melted butter to add more flavor.
7. 7Enjoy!
