Ingredients

  • 3 sweet potatoes medium, washed with the skin on (about 1.65 lb or 750g)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • kosher salt to taste
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Spray a baking dish with nonstick baking spray or rub it with a little olive oil. Set aside.
  2. Place the sweet potatoes on a wooden cutting board and between two wooden spoons or metal skewers. With a sharp knife, cut even slices into the sweet potato, stopping about ¼” from the bottom. The spoons or skewers should prevent you from cutting the entire way through. Work slowly, and repeat with all sweet potatoes.
  3. Place the hasselback sweet potatoes in the prepared baking dish.
  4. In a small bowl, mix olive oil, thyme, rosemary, garlic, salt and pepper together.
  5. Rub the sweet potatoes with the oil mixture.
  6. Place the seasoned sweet potatoes in the baking dish. Bake for 45 minutes on the center rack of the oven until tender. Check with a skewer to confirm the doneness before removing.
  7. In a small bowl, mix the butter and parmesan together.
  8. When the sweet potatoes are removed from the oven, drizzle the butter-parmesan directly over them.
  9. Serve warm, and enjoy!

Notes

  • This recipe could technically serve 3-6, depending on how large your sweet potatoes are and who you’re feeding.
  • Please note that this recipe can also be doubled or tripled easily. You’ll probably need a larger baking dish and you might need a little extra time in the oven, too.
  • How to choose the right sweet potatoes: Consider purchasing ones that are similar in size and shape so they can cook evenly. Sweet potatoes can be so widely variable, so I like to find the ones that are evenly shaped and on the smaller end so that they don’t take extra time to bake.
  • How to store: Place in an airtight container, and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave until warm.
