Ingredients
- 6 sweet potatoes 6-8 ounces each
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- salt and pepper to taste
- cooking spray
- toppings such as fresh herbs, garlic butter, brown sugar, marshmallows or pecans
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with foil, then coat the foil with cooking spray.
- Place a sweet potato on a cutting board between two chopsticks. Slice the potato into 1/4 inch thick slices, the chopsticks will prevent you from cutting all the way through.
- Repeat the process with the remaining sweet potatoes. Place the sweet potatoes on the sheet pan.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, butter, salt and pepper.
- Brush the olive oil mixture all over the sweet potatoes, making sure to get some in between the slices.
- Bake for 50-60 minutes until potatoes are tender and browned.
- Add toppings of your choice such as chopped fresh herbs, a pat of garlic butter, brown sugar or pecans. Serve and enjoy.

Notes
- Choose potatoes that are similar in size and shape so that they cook at the same rate.
- Be sure to use a very sharp knife to make even slices in your potatoes. I typically use a smaller paring knife. I find that it’s more precise than a larger chef’s knife for this task.
