Sweet Potatoes:
4 medium sweet potatoes (or 3 large sweet potatoes)
3 tablespoons olive oil + more for brushing cooking sheet
garlic powder
onion powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
INSTRUCTIONS
- Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. Trim off the ends of the sweet potatoes. Cut each sweet potato into quarters (or 1 1/2 - inch pieces).
- Place sweet potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to the boil; cook, covered for 20 -25 minutes or until just fork-tender. Drain well.
- Brush olive oil onto large baking sheet.
- Arrange potatoes on sheet, and lightly smash with a fork.
- Brush the potatoes with olive oil.
- Sprinkle potatoes with spices. I am pretty generous with these.
- Bake for 30 -40 minutes, then broil until browned or crispy. If you want to add cheese, place on potatoes and put in oven until melted.
NOTES
*Look for long sweet potatoes that are fairly wide in diameter. I found the fatter, the better (larger smashed sweet potato pieces)**I prefer the boil method first, as they seem to almost caramelise in their own natural sweetness, before baking. But either method works.
