These Melting Sweet Potatoes have that name for a good reason. They are a little crunchy around the edges but the interior just dissolves in your mouth. After the first bite, you will be hooked.
lb. sweet potatoes, roughly equally sized
3 T. melted butter or melted extra virgin coconut oil
3 T. garlic flavored extra virgin olive oil or plain extra virgin olive oil
1 1/4 t. kosher salt
1 t. ground black pepper
3 garlic cloves, peeled and thinly sliced or chopped
1 1/4 c. vegetable broth/stock
Preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
Peel the sweet potatoes; cut into 1 inch thick rounds.
Arrange rounds on a half sheet pan with space between the slices to allow for air to circulate. Drizzle with butter or coconut oil and olive oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the top. Flip the sweet potatoes; slide them around in the oils, making sure to completely coat them.
Roast for 15 minutes, or until the undersides have caramelized to a beautiful deep brown. Carefully flip over the sweet potato slices; return to the oven for 15 minutes.
Flip sweet potato slices again; scatter chopped/sliced garlic over the sweet potato slices; pour the vegetable broth over everything. Return the pan to the oven for 15 minutes, or until potatoes are completely tender and the broth has reduced to a thicker consistency.
Transfer the potatoes to a serving platter or bowl; drizzle the sauce from the pan over them.
Serve.
