Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/4 inch rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 large onion, thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon butter (for caramelizing the onions)
- 3 tablespoons butter (for rosemary butter)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (optional for a hint of acidity)
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat and Prep
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, and season generously with salt and black pepper.
Step 2: Roast the Sweet Potatoes
- Place the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even cooking. The edges should be golden brown and slightly crispy.
Step 3: Caramelize the Onions
- While the sweet potatoes are roasting, heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt.
- Add the thinly sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden brown and caramelized—about 20 minutes. Lower the heat if needed to prevent burning. Set aside once done.
Step 4: Prepare the Rosemary Butter
- In a small saucepan, melt the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and chopped rosemary, stirring frequently until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 5: Assemble and Bake
- Once the sweet potatoes are roasted, remove them from the oven and transfer to a large baking dish.
- Layer the caramelized onions over the sweet potatoes, spreading them evenly.
- Sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top.
- Drizzle the rosemary-infused butter evenly over the sweet potatoes and onions.
Step 6: Final Bake
- Return the baking dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or until the Parmesan is melted and golden brown.
Step 7: Serve and Garnish
- Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
- Optionally, garnish with fresh chopped parsley and a light squeeze of lemon juice for added freshness.
- Serve warm.
