How do you make Smashed Sweet Potatoes?

To make these Gluten Free Garlic Butter Smashed Sweet Potatoes:

Step 1: Wash then cut the sweet potatoes into ¾-inch thick, round slices. Try to get the slices as uniform as possible so that they’ll cook in the same amount of time. Steam or boil the potatoes for 20 – 25 minutes.

Step 2: Preheat oven to broil and grease a large baking sheet with the olive oil. Arrange sweet potatoes onto the sheet and gently smash each potato with a fork (they will be soft, so try not to press too hard).

Step 3: Mix together the melted butter, garlic and parsley. Drizzle the mixture over each sweet potato. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Broil until they are golden and crispy (about 10 minutes). Remove from oven, sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and return to the oven for another 5 – 7 minutes. Season with a little salt and parsley.

Recipe Notes for making the best Smashed Sweet Potatoes:

  • Sweet potatoes: look for long, medium size sweet potatoes, not large fat ones if possible. It will make them easier to smash.
  • I don’t peel the potatoes because the skin makes them extra crispy.
  • Using parchment paper is my default, but I don’t recommend that you use it here. Baking the potatoes directly on the oiled sheet pan helps them become extra crispy underneath.
  • Olive oil + butter: I much prefer the extra flavour and crispiness that melted butter adds. That said, butter will smoke much more at high heat, so I recommend brushing the pan with olive oil first (or misting it with cooking spray) and then using butter to brush or drizzle onto the smashed potatoes themselves.
  • Feel free to add whatever seasonings you love best, either before or after baking.
  • Make them vegan: Just use vegan butter or olive oil in place of the butter and skip the Parm.
  • Store in the fridge: After they’ve cooled, store the smashed sweet potatoes in an airtight container in your fridge. They last up to 4 days!
  • To reheat: Preheat your oven to 350 F. Then, place them on a cookie sheet and bake them for 15-20 minutes.
