Baked Sweet Potato

Baked Sweet Potato

I love sweet potato, especially when baked in the oven.

Sweet potato recipes are usually oven baked or roasted as a whole but sometimes, they are cut into wedges, slices or chips.

My favorite recipe is sliced sweet potato, bake with butter, salt and herbs.

This is one of the best sweet potato recipes I’ve ever tasted. The recipe yields crispy and buttery chips, perfect for Thanksgiving!

How to Bake Sweet Potatoes?

First, use a mandolin slicer, thinly slice the peeled potatoes. Pat dry with paper towels.

Next, place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large bowl and toss with butter, salt, black pepper and chopped rosemary/oregano.

Carefully arrange the slices upright (from left to right) in a small baking tray and bake in the oven for an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Do You Bake Sweet Potatoes?

The best oven baking temperature is 400°F or 204°C.

Bake for 60 minutes or until the potatoes are completely cooked through and the edges turn crispy.

How to Slice Sweet Potatoes?

For thin and even slices, you need a Mandoline Slicer.

I recommend OXO Handheld Mandoline Slicer, click here to buy on Amazon. You can also slice by hand using a sharp knife.

Please be extra careful when you use the Mandoline Slicer. To avoid slicing your finger, I recommend using a pair of hand gloves.

Yes, you sure can!

This recipe is savory in taste but you may add marshmallow as toppings and serve it as a casserole for Thanksgiving.
