- Yield: 5 servings 1x
- 4 sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons butter (salted or unsalted)
- 5 fresh sage leaves
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees
- Peel your sweet potatoes and chop them into small chunks – about 1-2 inches
- Place the sweet potatoes on a baking sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and pepper
- Toss everything together with your hands until all the potato chunks are evenly coated in oil and seasoning
- Roast the potatoes for 20 minutes, removing the baking sheet from the oven half way through and turning the potatoes with a spatula
- Meanwhile, in a sauce pan, melt the butter
- When the butter is melted, add the sage leaves and simmer – stirring constantly – until the butter has browned (but don’t burn it!!!)
- If you used unsalted butter, you will need to add a bit of salt here
- When the potatoes are done, remove them to a dish and drizzle with the sage brown butter
