- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 12 large fresh sage leaves
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 0.75 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp olive oil
How to make Hasselback Sweet Potatoes with Brown Butter Sage Glaze
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Place each sweet potato between two wooden spoon handles or chopsticks; this will prevent you from slicing all the way through.
- Carefully make thin, even slices (about 1/8-inch thick) across the top of each sweet potato, stopping when your knife hits the spoon handles. This creates the signature hasselback fan effect.
- Brush the sweet potatoes all over with 1 tablespoon olive oil, making sure to get some oil between the slices. Season generously with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- Place the hasselback sweet potatoes cut-side up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for 45-55 minutes, or until they are tender when pierced with a fork and the slices have started to fan open.
- While the sweet potatoes roast, prepare the brown butter sage glaze. In a small saucepan, melt 1/2 cup unsalted butter over medium heat. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the butter turns amber in color and nutty brown flecks appear at the bottom, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and immediately add the 12 large fresh sage leaves and 3 tablespoons maple syrup. The sage will crisp up and infuse its flavor into the butter. Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt.
- Once the sweet potatoes are tender, remove them from the oven. Drizzle about two-thirds of the brown butter sage glaze over the sweet potatoes, ensuring some gets into the fanned slices.
- Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the edges are slightly caramelized and crisp. This final bake helps the glaze penetrate and enhances the flavor.
- Remove from the oven, drizzle with the remaining brown butter sage glaze and crispy sage leaves, and serve hot.
