Time 1h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

6 medium sweet potatoes
6 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Fresh sage and rosemary sprigs, for garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place a potato between the handles of 2 wooden spoons or chopsticks. Slice the potato into thin slices, leaving 1/4 inch at the bottom unsliced; the spoons or chopsticks will prevent you slicing all the way through. Repeat with the remaining potatoes.
  • Mix together the butter, brown sugar and cinnamon with a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread the butter mixture all over the potatoes. Bake until tender and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a platter and garnish with the sage and rosemary.

Sweet potatoes come in different colors, from white to yellow to orange to orange-red. The darker the inside, the sweeter it is. I chose white because I was adding maple syrup and brown sugar, but any sweet potato will do.
