Ingredients
- 3 sweet potatoes cleaned and sliced thin

- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 sprig sage chopped
- 1 cup pecorino romano cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Coat a 9-inch (23cm) baking dish with nonstick spray.
- Arrange the sweet potato slices in a circular pattern in the baking dish. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to the oven to bake for 1 hour.
- During the last few minutes of baking, combine the butter, garlic and sage in a small pan and cook on medium heat until the sage is crisp, and the butter is slightly golden brown.
- Remove the sweet potato from oven and place on a trivet. Drizzle the sage butter sauce evenly as possible over the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle on the cheese, and serve.
Notes
Parmigiano reggiano or any type of hard, salty cheese is a good substitute for pecorino romano.
