Hasselback Sweet Potatoes

I love my sweet potatoes. I love that they are a powerful superfood, inexpensive, and VERY versatile. Plus they tastes like heaven my mouth :D. I did a little searing though the FFF archives and pulled together 6 of my favorite. Plus- if you scroll all the way to the bottom, you’ll find my new favorite way to roast them- hasselback style!

6. Easy Hasselback Sweet Potatoes (recipe below)

The reason Hasselback-style is my new favorite is because the way you prepare it allows the flavors to seep into the entire potato, making it extremely flavorful. I also think it jazzes up your potato. If you are making these for a dinner party or trying to impress someone (wink), it’s an great way to make the presentation look gawgeous. 

For this recipe, I used extremely basic flavors: olive oil, garlic, salt, and pepper. You don’t really need anything else!

Easy? It really is.

For toppings I used a dollop of plain Greek Yogurt, blue cheese, and some homemade applewood smoked bacon bits. And a side of avocado for the win!

Ohhhhhhh yeah.

2. Next, wash sweet potatoes and pat dry. Using a sharp knife, slice sweet potato as finely as possible. Make sure you don’t go all the way through.
3. Drizzle with EVOO and lather with garlic. Try and get the garlic in between each slice.
4. Generously season with salt and pepper.
5. Bake at 400F for about 45 minutes or until you can easily pierce the sweet potato with a fork.
