Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 12 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them evenly into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
Place the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle evenly with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat.
Roast the sweet potato rounds in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, flipping each piece halfway through, until golden brown and tender.
While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the garlic oil and sage. In a small skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over low heat.
Thinly slice the garlic cloves. Once the oil is warm, add the garlic slices and cook gently for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and just beginning to turn golden. Remove the garlic from the skillet with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Increase the heat to medium and add the sage leaves to the hot oil. Fry the sage for 10-15 seconds until they turn crisp, then remove the leaves and drain on a paper towel.
Once the sweet potato rounds are finished roasting, transfer them to a serving platter. Drizzle the garlic-infused oil over the top, sprinkle with the reserved crispy garlic, and top with the fried sage leaves.
For a hint of spiciness, sprinkle the rounds lightly with red pepper flakes if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
