Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 large Japanese sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoon olive oil or garlic infused olive oil
- 2 tablespoon coconut oil or butter
- 1 tablespoon flakey sea salt
- 1 tablespoon dried thyme
- 1 tablespoon dried rosemary
Instructions
- Chop the sweet potatoes into large chunks and steam until fork tender. Alternatively, you can boil them.
- Preheat oven to broil as you prep the potatoes.
- Spread steamed potatoes on a parchment lined baking sheet and use the bottom of a glass to smash them down slightly. They may stick, just smash and scrape off the bottom of the glass. This doesn't have to look perfect.
- Once smashed, make sure the sweet potatoes are evenly spread out.
- Drizzle with the oils, enough to cover them generously. Then sprinkle the salt evenly over top.
- Broil for 8-15 minutes. The time will depend on your oven. You want a light crisp on the top without burning them.
- Sprinkle with thyme and rosemary once done and serve.
