Time 30m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 medium sweet potatoes
¾ cup olive oil, divided
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt, or to taste

Steps:

  • Poke the sweet potatoes along their sides with a fork. Microwave the sweet potatoes, laid out in a circle in the microwave, until soft, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Slice the potatoes, across their width, into 1/2-inch slices. Separate them so they're not sticking together. Put 1/4 cup of olive oil into a small cup. Brush that oil onto the flat surfaces with a pastry brush. Pour any remaining oil over potatoes.
  • Put the oiled sweet potatoes into a gallon-sized zip-top bag. Add Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and salt. Shake the bag thoroughly for 1 minute. Manipulate the pieces with your hand (from the outside) to make sure all pieces get exposed to the cheese and powder.
  • Heat remaining 1/2 cup of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully pour the sweet potatoes into the skillet. Cook, moving the pieces around and flipping periodically, for 7 minutes. Remove from heat and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes without any bruises or blemishes. Avoid any potatoes that are soft or have cracks in the skin.
  • Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly before cooking. This will help remove any dirt or debris.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Bake the sweet potatoes at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for about an hour, or until they are tender. You can check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a potato; it should come out clean.
  • Let the sweet potatoes cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle.
  • Top the sweet potatoes with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, marshmallows, and maple syrup.

Conclusion:

Chrysanthemum sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. They are a great addition to any meal, and they can also be used as a snack or dessert.
