Ingredients
- 4 Large Sweet Potatoes Sliced into 1-1.5 inch thickness
- 1/2 cup Butter melted
- 1 tbsp. finely chopped rosemary Fresh
- 1/2 tsp. salt optional
- 2 tbsp. garlic minced
- Parmesan Cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Washed and slice the potatoes
- Melt the butter and microwave another 30 seconds with the garlic and herb.
- In a shallow bowl, add in the potatoes and butter mixture (save few table spoons for later). Coast the potatoes well and then line in a non-stick pan.
- Baked in a pre-heated 400 degree oven for 20 minutes. Remove and mash each potato slice with a glass cup.
- Brush the potatoes again with some butter and top with parmesan cheese (optional). Bake for another 5 minutes and remove to serve.
Notes
- Use a preheated oven.
- You can marinate them however way you want or keep them plain if you do not want to add any butter or oils to them.
- I do recommend at least spraying them with some oil spray, whether it's olive oil, vegetable or avocado oil spray.
- The cheese is completely optional as well if you do not want to add any dairy products to it.
- Save a little bit of melted butter and then pour the rest of butter and herb mixture onto the potatoes to coat well.
- You can boil the sweet potatoes first, but it's not essential.
- Be sure to place the sweet potatoes onto a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or use a non stick pan.
- Top with some fresh parsley.
- For a kick spice, add some crushed red pepper flakes.
