Melting Sweet Potatoes
Melting Sweet Potatoes are nicely caramelized on the outside and wonderfully creamy and soft inside. Oven roasted potatoes never tasted so good!
Servings: 6
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 garlic cloves sliced
- 1/2 cup beef broth (or chicken or vegetable broth)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475 degrees.
- Place sweet potato slices in a single layer in a 9x13-inch pan. Do NOT use a glass pan. Glass can shatter in a really hot oven, plus it will not do a good job at browning the sweet potatoes.
- Combine butter, olive oil, salt and pepper and pour over the sweet potatoes. Flip the potatoes over to make sure they are completely covered in the butter mixture.
- Place in oven for 15 minutes. Remove from oven, flip each sweet potato over and return to oven for 15 more minutes.
- Remove from oven. Flip over again. Add the garlic and beef broth to the pan and return to oven for 15 more minutes.

Notes
