Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound sweet potatoes (about 2 to 3 medium-sized potatoes),
- 2½ tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh rosemary, washed and dried
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven and prepare the pan. Preheat the oven to 375°F and adjust a rack to the center. Line a sheet pan with foil and coat it with the olive oil.
- Prepare the sweet potatoes. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes. Then slice them into rounds that are approximately ¼ to ½ inch thick. Place them in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan. Then flip them over so both sides are coated with the oil.
- Make and add the honey-rosemary mixture. In a small bowl, combine the honey and rosemary and then warm it in the microwave, just long enough to thin it, about 8 seconds. Drizzle an even amount of this on top of the sweet potato slices and sprinkle lightly with salt. (You might need to use your finger or a pastry brush to spread the honey-rosemary mixture evenly.)
- Bake. Place the sheet pan in the preheated 375°F oven and bake until the sweet potato slices are very tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, depending on thickness. (You can check them with a fork.) The bottoms should be caramelized and slightly crispy.
- Adjust seasonings and serve. Taste one of the slices and then, if necessary, sprinkle a bit more salt and little pepper to taste. (Here’s How to Season to Taste.)
Notes
Slice evenly: keep slices a consistent thickness so they bake at the same rate. Thicker slices need closer to 30 minutes.
Vegan option: use maple syrup instead of honey.
Herb swap: thyme or oregano work well instead of rosemary. If using dried rosemary, use 1 teaspoon.
Make ahead: bake up to 1 day ahead and refrigerate in an airtight container. Reheat in a 350°F oven or the microwave just until hot.
