Parmesan Criss-Cross Sweet Potatoes with Balsamic Glaze is a perfect side for your autumn menu. The sweetness of the potatoes really works with the saltiness of the parmesan cheese. I actually forgot to put the balsamic glaze on, so I guess you could say it's optional!
Prep: 15 mins
Cook: 55 mins
Yields: 4 Servings
Ingredients
4 medium size sweet potatoes
½ tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
½ tablespoon olive oil
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
½ ounce freshly grated parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh oregano, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh Italian parsley, chopped
1 tsp fresh thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
chili flakes
Directions
1Preheat oven to 425° F.
2Wash and scrub sweet potatoes very well.
3Slice into 2 cm thick slices. Cut each slice in a criss-cross pattern but be careful not to cut through the potato.
4In a small bowl, combine butter and olive oil.
5Place the potatoes in a medium mixing bowl and spread half of the olive oil/butter mixture over the top of each potato, then toss to evenly coat.
6Place potatoes on a small baking sheet and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
7Bake for 50-60 minutes, or until potatoes are tender inside and caramelized and crisp on the outside. Sprinkle with chili flakes, to taste.
8Spread with remaining butter/oil and sprinkle with parmesan, and herbs and drizzle with balsamic glaze.
