Servings: 12
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes (or 3 large sweet potatoes)*
- A light spray of olive oil
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 4 cloves garlic , crushed
- 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley
- Kosher Salt and Black Pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan Cheese
Steps
- Pre-heat your oven to broil (or grill) settings to high heat.
- Trim off the ends of the sweet potatoes. Cut each sweet potato into quarters (or 1 ½ - inch pieces).
- subheading: Boil Method:
- Place sweet potatoes in a large pot of salted water.
- Bring to the boil; cook, covered for 20 to 25 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain well.
- subheading: Roast Method:
- Bake sweet potato pieces for 25 to 30 minutes, or until they are fork tender.
- Allow to cool for about 5 minted, or until you can handle them without burning your hands.
- subheading: Smash:
- Lightly grease a large baking sheet or tray with cooking oil spray.
- Arrange sweet potatoes onto the sheet and use a fork to LIGHTLY flatten each piece (they will be soft, so try not to press too hard or they will end up breaking and mashed).
- Mix together the butter, garlic and parsley.
- Pour the mixture over each sweet potato.
- Sprinkle with salt and pepper and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
- Broil (or grill) until they are golden and crispy (about 15 minutes).
- Remove from oven, sprinkle over the parmesan cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted.
- subheading: To Serve:
- Season with a little extra salt and parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- Look for long sweet potatoes that are fairly wide in diameter. The fatter, the better (larger smashed sweet potato pieces)
- The boil method first, as they seem to almost caramelise in their own natural sweetness, before baking. But either method works.
