Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and boil them in a large pot of water until fork-tender, about 20 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and let them cool slightly until they are safe to handle. Peel the skins off if desired.
Place the sweet potatoes on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one. Using a sturdy fork or potato masher, gently press down on each potato to flatten it slightly, keeping it mostly intact.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the smashed sweet potatoes. Sprinkle them with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and drizzle the sweet potatoes with honey. Garnish with chopped parsley for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately while warm. Enjoy your Crash Hot Sweet Potatoes as a side dish or snack!
