Ingredients
Scale
- 5 large sweet potatoes (about 12 ounces each)
- ¾ cup unsalted butter (1½ sticks, melted)
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- Fresh rosemary or thyme (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and dry sweet potatoes. Slice into even, spaced cuts without going all the way through.
- Mix melted butter, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
- Brush garlic butter mixture generously over sweet potatoes, ensuring to coat sliced layers. Reserve some for basting.
- Place sweet potatoes on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes, basting with reserved butter halfway through.
- Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until tender and golden brown. Garnish with fresh herbs before serving.
Notes
Avoid cutting too deep into the sweet potatoes to keep layers intact during baking.
Experiment with various toppings like cheese or nuts for added flavor and crunch.
