Melting Sweet Potatoes are nicely caramelized on the outside and wonderfully creamy and soft inside. Oven roasted potatoes never tasted so good!

Ingredients
4mediumsweet potatoes,peeled and cut into 1-inch slices
2tablespoonsmelted butter
2tablespoonsolive oil
1teaspoonsalt
1/2teaspoonblack pepper
2garlic cloves,sliced
1/2cupbeef 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.
