Sweet Potato Rounds

I lovveee Sweet Potatoes… they’re a newer thing for me.. I didn’t really start to eat them till I moved up here {so maybe 5 years ish?}. Anyhoo, I love them roasted, Love them baked, mashed, the usual… But I was getting a little sick of those ways to eat them. So I came up with this way! It might seem like a little bit more work, but I think it takes the same time to cut them into “roasted fries” as it does to get them into the oven.

The best part is, because it’s a two step process, you can do part one and stick it in the fridge, and bake them off later that day or even a day or two later. So it’s a great prep-ahead side dish! Make a quick stir fry while they bake and Boom… insta-easy-dinner.

Make sure your knife is sharp when cutting these bad boys up as well! If you don’t know how to sharpen your knife or can’t try bringing it to a gourmet food store, a lot of them will sharpen your knifes for free, or at least point you in the right direction!

Ingredients:
• 2 sweet potatoes {Roughly the same thickness if you can}
• Butter {or Coconut Oil}
• Salt, Pepper, Dried Rosemary

How To:
• Pre-Heat your oven to 375 degrees{F}

• Get a big ‘ol skillet heating with a fair amount of butter, and cut your sweet potatoes into 1/4″ {ish} rounds. {Go thicker or thinner depending on your mood}.

• Drop your rounds into the skillet to get them to start browning. Flip over and brown over on the other side, and place them on a baking sheet. I have to split it up into two or three batches normally, and just keep placing them on you baking sheet.

• Generously sprinkle Rosemary, Salt + Pepper on One Side, Bake for 15 minutes.

• Take them out of the oven, flip, sprinkle this side with the Rosemary, Salt + Pepper, put bake in oven and bake for 10-15 more minutes.

Enjoy! They have a creamy inside with a slightly crunchy outside, so it’s like a roasted sweet potato spear, baked sweet potato, and a mashed potato all in one! I normally smother it in more butter or whip up a quick mayo dip. They taste great the next day too with some eggs!

Oh and if you’re not a rosemary fan, feel free to use basil, thyme, whatever dried herb is your favorite

{And when they bake they make your house smell amazing!}
