Ingredients
- 2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, sliced to 1/10-inch thickness
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, finely chopped, plus more whole leaves, to taste, for garnish
- 1 1/4 teaspoons salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1 –Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Step 2 –In a large bowl, add the sweet potato slices, the melted butter, the olive oil, 2 tablespoons of the chopped rosemary, the salt, and the black pepper and toss until the slices are well-coated.
Step 3 –Stack about 7-8 of the seasoned sweet potato slices on top of each other to form a stack. Repeat until all the slices have been used. There should be about 12 stacks. Reserve the liquid from the potatoes in the bowl.
Step 4 –Place 1 of the stacks into each of the cups of a 12-cup muffin tin. It is okay for the stacks to be slightly higher than the rim of the muffin cups as they will shrink while baking.
Step 5 –Evenly brush 1/2 teaspoon of the reserved liquids from the bowl over the potato stacks.
Step 6 –Bake the potato stacks until the edges of the top slices start to brown and the insides of the stacks are cooked through, about 45 minutes.
Step 7 –Transfer the baked sweet potato stacks to a wire rack.
Step 8 –Transfer the potato stacks to a serving plate and brush with the remaining juice from the bottom of the muffin pan wells.
Step 9 –Serve the potato stacks garnished with the extra rosemary leaves.
