Butter-Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 2 large)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted and cooled, ghee, or coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

Step 1

Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 425°F. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch-thick rounds.

Place the rounds on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle with the butter (or ghee or coconut oil), sprinkle with the salt, and toss to coat. Arrange in a single layer, with at least 1/2 inch between the rounds.

Roast for 20 minutes. Using tongs, flip the rounds, then roast for 20 minutes more.
