Ingredients

  • 4 sweet potatoes small or medium sized, halved lengthwise, ends trimmed
  • 1 pinch coarse salt to taste
  • 1 pinch cracked pepper to taste
  • 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese fresh grated
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley or dried, chopped

Garlic Butter

  • 1/4 cup butter softened at room temperature
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 pinch salt to taste
US - Metric

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 220°C | 425°F. Brush the potatoes with the garlic butter and season each potato with salt and pepper. Arrange cut-side down on a lightly greased baking sheet until golden brown and the flesh is tender (about 20-30 minutes, depending on your oven).
  • Remove them from the oven, flip them cut-side up (skin side down) and top with the mozzarella, parmesan and parsley.
  • Change oven settings to broil on low or medium heat and broil until the cheese is golden and melted (about 2 minutes). Sprinkle with more salt and pepper, if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

I top mine with parsley, but you can use dried thyme or rosemary.
