Cook's Note: Although traditional tians are baked in heavy ceramic dishes, you will have good results using a more common baking dish as long as it is shallow and has 2 1/2 to 3 quart capacity, such as a 12" x 2" x 7" Pyrex dish.

Tips:

  • Select the right sweet potatoes: Choose firm and smooth sweet potatoes that are free from blemishes and sprouts. Look for varieties like Garnet, Jewel, or Beauregard, which have a sweet and creamy texture.
  • Use fresh sage: Fresh sage leaves impart a distinct and aromatic flavor to the tian. If you don't have fresh sage, you can use dried sage, but reduce the quantity by half as it is more concentrated.
  • Slice the sweet potatoes thinly: This will ensure that they cook evenly in the oven. Aim for slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Make sure to arrange the sweet potato slices in a single layer in the baking dish. Overcrowding will prevent them from cooking properly.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Extra virgin olive oil is the best choice for this recipe. Its rich flavor will complement the sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
  • Season generously: Don't be shy with the salt and pepper. These basic seasonings will enhance the natural flavors of the sweet potatoes and sage.
  • Bake until tender: The sweet potato tian is done when the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized around the edges. This usually takes about 45-50 minutes.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato and sage tian is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as a main course or a side dish. It's perfect for a weeknight meal because it's easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time. The combination of sweet potatoes, sage, and cheese creates a harmonious balance of flavors and textures that will please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy sweet potatoes, give this tian a try.
