I like to start checking for the golden crispy layer after 35 minutes (mind the hot steam when opening the oven). So, if you don’t get the crispy edges just continue baking for a couple more minutes. You can also add chili flakes to spice things up.Įxact baking times might vary from one oven and one batch of roasted sweet potatoes to the other. You don’t have to use the thyme at all, and you can replace is with similar herbs like rosemary, sage and oregano (dried versions are great too). I used only kosher salt and some thyme sprigs to add an herby aroma. I used olive oil but coconut oil and other rich oils like ghee (clarified butter) are wonderful here. The more olive you’ll use – the crispier the final result will be. It conducts the heat from the pan very efficiently – and you oil both the pan (so you can coat the cut side of the sweet potatoes) and the top. In order to achieve this crème brulee like layer, you have to be liberal with the oil. Place cut side down on top of the oil salt and thyme. I halved the sweet potato lengthwise – so that their flesh will have contact with the hot baking pan.Īs the sweet potatoes soften in the oven, some of the natural sugars they contain are released, caramelizing and turning golden and crisp. Here I combined the best of the two ways to bake them. Photo by: Oz TelemĮverybody knows that when you bake sweet potatoes whole, as is, they turn out great, and whenever I baked them sliced or diced, the part I loved most was the slightly burnt and crispy parts.
Halved lengthwise for maximum contact with the pan. With over 360 thousand views on Facebook and over 50 thousand on both YouTube and Instagram, and thousands of pictures I received from readers and followers who made this recipe and declared it to be the tastiest sweet potatoes in the world (YAY!). The humble vegetable comes out of the oven delicate, almost melting on the inside, crisp and caramelized on the outside and utterly irresistible. The recipe I share went totally viral when I first published it in Hebrew a couple of months ago. Start by scrubbing some medium size sweet potatoes. They are rich with fiber and beta carotene, so they don’t only taste good but are healthy too. There are many things you can do with sweet potatoes (and yams): can mash them, turn them into soups, dice and bake for salads and pasta dishes and more. For me, it is the best way to prepare one of the tastiest veggies out there, glowing with a deep orange color, creamy texture and a rich sweetness that is hard to resist.
