- 4 medium sweetpotatoes sliced into 1-inch thick rounds
- 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil
- kosher salt and pepper
- 8 slices bacon diced
- 4 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 3 Tbsp. light brown sugar firmly packed
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 3 Tbsp. fresh sage leaves chopped
Preheat oven to 425° F degrees.
In a large bowl, combine sweetpotato slices and olive oil. Toss to coat. Place slices on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper in an even layer. Sprinkle each slice, top and bottom with kosher salt and pepper. Roast for 20 minutes. Flip and continue roasting for another 20 minutes, or until potatoes are tender.
While sweetpotatoes are baking, cook bacon in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy. Remove from skillet to a paper towel lined plate. Set aside.
Melt the butter in a small pot over medium heat stirring occasionally. Watch carefully so it doesn’t burn. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the butter begins to give off a nutty aroma and begins to brown. Remove from heat and set aside.
When sweetpotatoes are done baking, remove from oven. Using a fork, scrape the flesh of the potato rounds, keeping skin intact. Brush each round with browned butter, then sprinkle with brown sugar. Return to the oven to bake for an additional 5-7 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle with parmesan, bacon and sage leaves. Serve warm.
