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!

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.

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

Pauline
I wish I could post a picture! Mine is too pretty to eat! I made it in a pie dish and the circular pattern makes it look like a flower. A bit soggy and buttery tho. I wonder if coconut oil would make it crispier.
Rasa Malaysia
Pauline, pie dish sounds like an idea. Sure you can try!

Rasa Malaysia
Hi Elizabeth – I am not sure as I don’t have an Android phone. You can print using a desktop or laptop by clicking on the Printer icon in the pink recipe card.
Karen Berwick
Can this be made a day ahead and then reheated to come out with the bird for Thanksgiving? Looks great and a nicer lighter side dish.
Shari
Thanks, this looks good although it looks like the potatoes are sliced width ways rather than length ways. Also, I would think melted butter would work better than trying to cut a soft, room temperature butter into small cubes.
Rasa Malaysia
Hi Shari, you are right. Let me update the word in the recipe. You can use melted butter or room temperature butter.
Deb
Do you melt the butter and mix it with the herbs, or do you cut the butter int6o small pieces?
Rasa Malaysia
Room temperature, so yes, you cut them into small cubes.

I am really upset. I have been getting the recipes for a long time on my email.
Today I am not able to print the Sliced Crispy Sweet Potatoes Recipe. . It does not give me an option to copy the recipe.. Only to pin it. I have no idea what pinning is.
I want to copy and paste it on my Word page and save it as I always have.
