Ingredients
- 2 pounds of organic sweet potatoes peeled and cut into halves or quarters depending upon the size of each potato
- 1/4 cup butter + 2 tablespoons divided
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- garlic powder to taste
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
- parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 ℉.
- Melt 1/4 cup of butter in a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Sprinkle parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper over the butter.
- Place potatoes cut side down in the seasoned butter. Brush potatoes with the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, sprinkle with salt, and place in preheated oven.
- Bake for 40 to 45 minutes. Let them rest for 5 minutes. Gently lift each potato with a spatula and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.
Notes
- For the parmesan cheese, I recommend buying an aged parmesan. Aged cheeses are supposed to have a lower lactose content than lesser aged varieties.
