Servings: 4 potatoes
Ingredients
- 4 sweet potatoes scrubbed and dried
- 4 Tbsp brown butter, see note
- Salt and pepper
To serve:
- cooked bacon,
- Green Onions, chopped
- Parmigiano Reggiano
- red pepper flakes
- Fresh herbs, like rosemary and thyme
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Place sweet potato in between two chopsticks. Carefully cut 1/8 inch thick slices (no need to be precise - just makes them thin!) the entire length of the potato. Repeat with each potato.
- Place on a foil lined baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking oil. Brush the brown butter over each potato, ensuring you cover the entire potato in the butter. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and bake for 45 minutes.
- Check potatoes to ensure doneness to your liking, and serve with toppings!
Notes
For the Brown Butter:
- Heat butter over medium heat, swirling carefully as it melts.
- Once butter is golden brown, smells nutty, and the pan has browned bits on the bottom, remove from heat.
- Using a spoon, scrape up every brown bit you can, and transfer to a room temperature dish to cool (if you keep in the pan it will continue to brown, and potentially burn).
