Ingredients

  • about 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes 2 large or 3 medium, sliced into approximately 1 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter, very soft
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons honey
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon optional and to taste
  • brown sugar optional for garnishing
  • salt optional and to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easier cleanup; set aside.
  2. Add potato slices to baking sheet (if using a medium potato, you can quarter it; if using a large, make about 5 rounds)
  3. Evenly drizzle the olive oil over the potatoes and toss with your hands to evenly coat.
  4. Bake for about 30 minutes or until potatoes are fork-tender, or nearly so, in the center.
  5. Flip and bake for about more 5 minutes, or as needed until they’re fork tender.
  6. Using a fork, lightly mash the potatoes but don’t go overboard because you want them to stay intact.
  7. Return baking sheet to the oven and bake for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until they crisp up a bit or as desired.
  8. While potatoes bake, prepare the honey butter (or make this Creamy Honey Cinnamon Dip) by adding the butter and desired amount of honey to a small bowl, optionally add the cinnamon, and stir to combine; set aside until potatoes are done.
  9. After potatoes are done, add a bit of honey butter to the center of each, and optionally add a pinch of salt to the top of each.
  10. Serve immediately. Potatoes are best warm and fresh.
