BAKED SWEET POTATO RECIPES: CRISPY SWEET POTATO BAKE

CRISPY SWEET POTATO BAKE



CRISPY SWEET POTATO BAKE 

This crispy sweet potato bake delivers the best of both worlds: tender, creamy layers inside with ultra-crispy golden edges on top. Perfect as a show-stopping side dish or hearty vegetarian main.

⭐ Why This Recipe Stands Out

  • Extra-crispy top and edges

  • Soft, flavorful center

  • Simple ingredients, big flavor

  • Great for holidays, potlucks, or meal prep

  • Customizable: cheesy, herby, or spicy

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 6)

Sweet Potato Base

  • 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled

  • 3 tbsp olive oil or melted butter

  • 1 tsp salt

  • ½ tsp black pepper

Flavor Boost

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp paprika (smoked preferred)

  • ½ tsp dried thyme or rosemary

Crispy Topping

  • ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tbsp melted butter or olive oil

🔥 Instructions

1. Prep the Oven

  • Preheat oven to 220°C / 425°F

  • Grease a shallow baking dish or cast-iron skillet

2. Slice & Season

  1. Slice sweet potatoes into ⅛–¼-inch rounds (thin = crispier)

  2. Toss slices with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic, paprika & herbs

  3. Arrange upright or layered tightly in the dish

3. Bake

  1. Cover loosely with foil

  2. Bake for 35 minutes until just tender

  3. Remove foil

4. Add Crispy Topping

  1. Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan & melted butter

  2. Sprinkle evenly over the top

  3. Return to oven uncovered

5. Crisp to Perfection

  • Bake 20–25 minutes until deeply golden and crunchy

  • Optional: Broil 2–3 minutes for extra crisp (watch closely)

🍽 Serving Suggestions

  • With roast chicken, turkey, pork, or steak

  • As a vegetarian main with a fresh salad

  • Brunch side with eggs or smoked salmon

🌱 Delicious Variations

  • Cheesy Deluxe: Add mozzarella or Gruyère between layers

  • Vegan: Use olive oil + nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan

  • Spicy: Add chili flakes or cayenne

  • Herb Lover’s: Fresh thyme, rosemary & parsley

💡 Pro Tips for Maximum Crisp

  • Use a shallow dish so moisture escapes

  • Don’t overcrowd—airflow = crunch

  • Thin, even slices cook and crisp best

  • Let rest 5 minutes before serving

🥗 Nutrition Highlights

  • Rich in vitamin A & fiber

  • Balanced carbs for energy

  • Naturally gluten-free if breadcrumbs are swapped
