Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 3 tbsp cubed butter
- 1/4 cups (55 g) packed brown sugar
- Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/4 inch). Aim for uniform slices for even cooking.
- Place the sweet potato slices in a single layer in a casserole dish, overlapping slightly like shingles.
- Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the sweet potatoes.
- Sprinkle the brown sugar over the sweet potatoes, making sure to work some of the sugar between the slices for added flavor.
- Dot the casserole with cubed butter, spreading the pieces evenly across the top.
- Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C) or switch to a broil setting. Broil for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the top is caramelized and slightly crispy.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For extra caramelization, use a dark brown sugar.
- To prevent sticking, lightly grease your casserole dish before arranging the sweet potatoes.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
