Print Recipe

Experience the magic of nutty brown butter enveloping tender roasted sweet potatoes, infused with fresh sage. This dish is a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication, ideal for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup fresh sage leaves, roughly chopped
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel your sweet potatoes and cut them into roughly 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a medium-sized, light-colored skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat.
  4. Once the butter is fully melted, add the fresh sage leaves. The butter will begin to foam.
  5. Swirl the pan occasionally. Keep a close eye on it! The milk solids at the bottom of the pan will start to turn golden, then amber, and finally a beautiful nutty brown. This usually takes about 5-8 minutes.
  6. As soon as the solids are amber/brown and the butter smells nutty, remove the skillet from the heat immediately.
  7. Place your cubed sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl. Pour the warm brown butter and sage over the potatoes. Add a generous pinch of kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together well.
  8. Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on your prepared baking sheet. Don't overcrowd the pan.
  9. Transfer the baking sheet(s) to the preheated oven. Roast for 20-25 minutes, then flip the sweet potatoes with a spatula. Continue roasting for another 15-20 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and beautifully caramelized.
  10. Taste a piece and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!

Keywords: For best results, use firm, unblemished sweet potatoes and ensure they are cut into uniform sizes for even cooking. Don't overcrowd the baking sheet to achieve crispy edges.
