Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
These sweet potato slices offer a perfect balance of natural sweetness and a hint of buttery honey flavor. They are easy to prepare and make a comforting side dish that pairs well with many meals. Plus, baking brings out the natural caramelization, adding extra depth to the taste.
Directions
Heat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with foil and give it a light spray with cooking oil. In a small bowl, mix together the panko, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Dip each sweet potato slice into a beaten egg, then press it into the panko mixture so it’s nicely coated. Arrange the slices in a single layer on the baking sheet and give the tops a quick spray with cooking oil. Pop them in the oven and bake until they’re golden and crispy, about 20 minutes. While they’re baking, stir together the butter and honey in a small bowl. Serve the sweet potato slices warm, paired with the honey butter for dipping.
