Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 12 leaves fresh sage leaves
- 0.5 cups Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Peel the sweet potatoes if desired, or leave the skin on for added texture. Cut them into 1/2-inch thick rounds.
In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato slices with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Make sure each slice is evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potato slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
While the sweet potatoes are baking, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the sage leaves and fry them for 1-2 minutes until crispy. Remove them carefully and place them on a paper towel to drain.
After 20 minutes, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven. Sprinkle the minced garlic and half of the Parmesan cheese evenly over the sweet potatoes. Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender and slightly caramelized.
Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the top.
Gently crumble the fried sage leaves and scatter them over the sweet potatoes. Serve immediately while warm.
