  • 4 large Sweet Potatoes Peeled and sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted Butter Can substitute with olive oil for dairy-free option

  • 1 medium Shallot Finely diced, can substitute with onion
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt Adjust according to taste
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh Thyme Can use dried thyme in a pinch
For the Creamy Finish
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream Can substitute with milk for less creaminess

Equipment

  • Medium-sized Baking Dish

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish with either butter or cooking spray.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thinly, about 1/8 inch thick, then place in a large bowl.
  3. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic cloves and finely diced shallot, sautéing for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Stir in fresh thyme leaves, kosher salt, and black pepper to taste. Add heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, cooking and stirring until well combined.
  5. Pour the cream mixture over the sliced sweet potatoes, gently tossing to coat evenly.
  6. Arrange the coated sweet potato slices in the greased baking dish and pour any remaining cream sauce over the top.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes until the top is golden brown and a fork pierces through easily.
  8. Let the dish cool for a few minutes, then garnish with extra fresh thyme before serving.
