Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Kumara (sweet potatoes)
- 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
Peel the kumara (sweet potatoes) and cut them into 1-inch thick rounds for even cooking.
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until combined. Remove from heat.
Place the kumara slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice generously with the sugar-butter mixture using a pastry brush.
Bake the kumara in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the slices are tender and lightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through cooking.
Once baked, transfer the kumara slices to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
