Spiced Sweet Potato Anna
Prep Time: 15 min
Cook Time: 50 min
Serves: 6 – 8
Ingredients:
- 5 to 6 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
- 12 tablespoons (1 1/2 sticks/170 g) unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh thyme leaves, plus more for garnish
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) fresh sage leaves, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) Nutmeg Ground
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) Allspice Ground
- 1 1/2 teaspoons (7 ml) kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon (2 ml) Black Peppercorn Grinder
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 425°F (220°C) (or 400°F (200°C) if using convection). Use a mandolin to cut sweet potatoes into slices about 1/8-inch (3 mm) thick.
2. In a large bowl, toss potato slices with melted butter, nutmeg, allspice, thyme, sage, salt and pepper. Toss until slices are coated with butter and seasonings. Drizzle olive oil in the bottom of a 10-inch or 11-inch (25-cm or 28-cm) round roasting dish. Arrange potatoes in a concentric circle, slightly overlapping the edges. Layer all the potatoes, gently pressing down after each layer. Cover dish tightly with foil.
3. Bake until the potatoes are completely tender and cooked through, about 30 minutes. Remove the foil and continue to bake until the potatoes are browned on the top, another 15 to 20 minutes. Garnish dish with fresh thyme sprigs. Cut into wedges to serve.
