Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to gather to make these delightful stacks:
- 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves (optional, for garnish)
Feel free to get creative with substitutions! If you prefer, swap the Parmesan for Pecorino Romano for a sharper flavor. Or try adding a sprinkle of smoked paprika for a smoky twist. Remember, cooking at home is all about using what you have and making it work for you.
Instructions
Ready to get cooking? Follow these steps for a dish that’s sure to delight:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with olive oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the sliced sweet potatoes, olive oil, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Layer the sweet potato slices in each muffin cup, about 6-8 slices per cup, pressing down gently to compact them.
- Sprinkle the top of each stack with a generous amount of grated Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden and crispy.
- Remove from the oven and let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before using a spoon to gently lift them out.
- Garnish with fresh thyme leaves if desired before serving.
I like to use this time to clean up the inevitable mess my kids have made in the kitchen or just take a moment to sip my tea and enjoy the aroma wafting from the oven. Cooking is therapeutic, even amidst the everyday hustle.
