Description

Crispy Parmesan Thyme Sweet Potato Stacks are a delicious and elegant side dish featuring thinly sliced sweet potatoes layered with melted butter, olive oil, Parmesan cheese, fresh thyme, and garlic. Baked to golden perfection, these stacks are crispy on the edges and tender in the center, making them a perfect accompaniment to any meal or a tasty appetizer.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled

Seasonings & Oils

  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or ½ teaspoon dried thyme)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Optional Garnishes

  • Extra Parmesan cheese
  • Extra fresh thyme leaves

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice Sweet Potatoes: Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, slice the peeled sweet potatoes into very thin rounds for even cooking and stacking.
  3. Mix Coating: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, grated Parmesan, fresh or dried thyme, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Toss the sweet potato slices in this mixture until evenly coated.
  4. Assemble Stacks: Place 6 to 8 coated sweet potato slices into each muffin cup, stacking them evenly and pressing down gently to compact.
  5. Bake: Bake the stacks in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crispy and the centers are tender.
  6. Cool and Remove: Allow the stacks to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then carefully remove each stack using a spoon or knife to loosen the edges.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Optionally, sprinkle extra Parmesan and thyme on top for garnish and serve the stacks warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, consider baking in a convection oven or broiling for the last 2 to 3 minutes.
  • You can substitute Yukon Gold potatoes for a less sweet flavor.
  • These sweet potato stacks are versatile as a side dish or appetizer and can be made ahead and reheated.
