Ingredients

2 lbs sweet potatoes about 2 large or 3 medium potatoes
2 tablespoon melted butter
2 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
5 sprigs fresh thyme or ½ teaspoon dried
5 fresh sage leaves or ½ teaspoon dried

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash & peel the sweet potatoes. Slice into rounds about ¼ - ½" thick.
Add the slices to a large bowl and add the melted butter, olive oil, honey, salt, & pepper. Add just the thyme leaves and discard the stems. Tear the sage leaves. Use your hands to mix and ensure all of the sweet potato slices are coated.
Arrange the slices in one layer on the baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes until fork-tender. No need to flip.
Serve immediately with your main and enjoy!

Notes

To make this vegan, use maple syrup instead of honey and all olive oil instead of butter.
Try different flavor combinations by replacing the honey, thyme and sage with:
- sweet: ½ teaspoon cinnamon and 2 tablespoon maple syrup or brown sugar
- savory: 1 teaspoon chili powder, ½ teaspoon paprika, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon cayenne
Store leftover sweet potato slices in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 375ºF until warm.
