Instructions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a small rimmed baking sheet with foil and set aside.

Slice the bottoms off of the sweet potatoes so they lay flat on your cutting board. Using a very sharp knife, carefully slice the sweet potatoes in about 1/8" slices, stopping about 1/4-1/2" from the bottom. It's important not to cut through to the bottom to ensure that the sweet potato stays intact.

Combine the melted butter, rosemary, salt and pepper in a small bowl, then brush the tops of the sweet potatoes as well as between the layers with half of the butter mixture.

Bake in the oven for 45-60 minutes until tender, removing from the oven halfway through the cooking time to fan the slices a bit to separate them and brush with the remaining butter mixture. Remove from heat and serve warm as-is or with your favorite toppings. Enjoy!

Tips & Tricks (5)

Prevent Hasselback Slicing Mishaps 🔪
Place wooden skewers or chopsticks on either side of the sweet potato before slicing to stop your knife at the perfect depth—this keeps the bottom intact while creating even, thin slices.
Infuse Butter for Maximum Flavor 🧈
Melt your butter gently and let the rosemary steep in it for 2-3 minutes before brushing onto the potatoes, allowing the herb oils to fully incorporate for deeper, more aromatic results.
Soak for Crispy Exteriors 💧
Briefly soak sliced potatoes in cold water for 10 minutes, then pat completely dry before buttering—this removes excess starch and ensures golden, crispy exteriors while keeping insides tender.
Layer Salt Strategically 🧂
Sprinkle sea salt between the slices as well as on top—this seasons the potato throughout rather than just the surface, creating balanced flavor in every bite.
Monitor Temperature for Perfect Doneness 🌡️
Use a fork to pierce the thickest part of the potato; it should slide through easily when fully cooked (around 45-55 minutes depending on size), indicating tender flesh with crispy, caramelized tops.
