Altering this Garlic Butter recipe specifically for these sweet potatoes with some extra added herbs and a hint of lemon, they transformed from the usual into something incredible.
The only time consuming step with hasselback sweet potatoes is slicing them into evenly measured slices (or sort of) while trying not to cut straight through onto your chopping board. The rest is super easy.
They look amazing on the plate, they taste better than they look, and they’re so versatile they go with anything. Chicken, meat, seafood, in a salad, or as a meal on their own.
The usual baking time for hasselback sweet potatoes is an hour or just over an hour (depending on different ovens and temperatures), but I never seem to have enough room in my oven for the extra tray, or the time, so I zap them in the microwave wrapped in paper towel and reduce roasting time by half. Since I was roasting this Crispy Beer Roast Turkey already, I used my usual short cut for these potatoes and decided to share the short cut in time for Christmas recipe planning! If you’re against microwaving (understandably so), the recipe does include the full oven baked version. But. If you’re short on time and you like your microwave, then you will have hasselback sweet potatoes on your table in less than half an hour. Either way, both versions are just as good as each other.
