Happy Thanksgiving everyone. If no one
0:02
is reaching for your sweet potato
0:04
casserole during the holidays, you need
0:07
to make this savory roasted sweet
0:10
potatoes
0:12
melted into a parmesan crust.
0:16
Got your attention, huh? So, I'm just
0:19
going to bring over my cutting board.
0:21
Then, we're going to take our sweet
0:23
potato and I'm going to cut off both
0:26
ends.
0:32
And I'm using a pairing knife. And it's
0:34
going to be the smallest knife that you
0:36
have.
0:38
And what I'm going to do is start at the
0:40
top.
0:41
And I'm going to peel very thinly.
0:45
We're going to get all that skin off.
0:48
You can do it this way or you can go
0:50
around
0:52
the sweet potato. Or if you like using a
0:55
peeler, you can use that also.
1:00
We're going to get all the skin off.
1:03
Honestly, if you use a pairing knife,
1:06
you're not going to have those peels
1:08
flying everywhere at you.
1:14
Here we go.
1:19
He's escaping. All right, you guys. I'm
1:21
going to take care of these two and
1:22
we'll come right back. All right, we got
1:25
them all peeled.
1:29
We're going to clean this up.
1:32
Now that we got our sweet potatoes
1:34
peeled, we're going to take one and
1:36
we're going to cut these into 1 inch
1:38
rounds. It's about right there.
1:48
Keep them all nice and even.
1:54
I'm using a nice sharp knife, not the
1:57
pairing knife,
2:00
because these are pretty thick.
2:03
You want to be careful as you're going
2:04
through them.
2:10
All right, that's what it'll look like.
2:12
Now, we're going to take this and we're
2:13
going to add it to a large mixing bowl.
2:20
All right, I'm going to finish the other
2:21
two and bring you back.
2:25
Always pull your fingers in when you're
2:27
chopping something.
2:30
Your fingers will be the guide
2:33
to you getting through the sweet potato.
2:38
All
2:50
right, let's set this off to the side.
2:54
We're going to bring over a small bowl.
2:56
Now, I'm going to make sure this is
2:57
microwave safe.
2:59
We're going to add in half a stick of
3:02
butter, which is four tablespoons.
3:11
Now, what's great about this recipe is
3:14
I'm going to be doing it the savory way,
3:16
which means I'm going to be adding some
3:17
nice seasonings to it, kind of to flavor
3:20
it up for the holidays. Or you can even
3:22
make this a sweet variety, which means
3:24
you're going to add some spices to it
3:27
and give it a little bit of sweetness to
3:29
it. So, and I'll talk about that here in
3:32
just a second. All right, let's melt
3:34
that in the microwave. Should take about
3:36
45 seconds.
3:40
All right, let's add in about 3 teaspoon
3:44
minced garlic.
3:47
It's got a lot of potatoes to cover.
3:51
Thyme, parsley, rosemary, and sage.
3:56
Half a teaspoon of dried sage.
4:03
Want nice flavor to this. Remember, it's
4:05
the holidays.
4:09
Some rosemary leaves. I'm going to put
4:11
in whatever I have left of that.
4:16
We need more.
4:20
We got some thyme leaves.
4:23
For the time, I would put in about one
4:25
teaspoon.
4:28
And I'm going to be putting in some
4:31
parsley flakes.
4:35
freshness.
4:40
We're going to put in some cracked black
4:42
pepper.
4:46
Get it on in there. Hit it with it hard.
4:48
There we go. We're definitely going to
4:51
add plenty of salt. It's got a lot of
4:52
sweet potatoes to cover.
4:58
I'm just going to take a fork. We're
4:59
going to blend this together.
5:01
Now, if you're doing the sweet variety,
5:04
instead of all of these seasonings here
5:07
and the pepper and the salt, you can add
5:10
in a little bit of brown sugar,
5:13
ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and
5:16
ground nutmeg
5:18
to get the consistency of the flavor
5:20
that you're looking for.
5:23
And then you'd put that in with the
5:25
melted butter.
5:27
And then you can like add a little bit
5:29
of salt to it to offset the sweetness.
5:33
All right, let's get rid of our spices
5:34
here.
5:37
Let's bring our sweet potatoes back over
5:39
here. We're going to pour this in all
5:41
over them.
5:49
Get all that out of there.
5:52
Yeah.
5:54
Now, we're going to coat
5:56
the sweet potatoes. Make sure they're
5:58
all covered with all of that goodness.
6:00
You can go in with your hands if you
6:02
want to do that.
6:04
Just make sure they're nice and clean.
6:05
Put some gloves on and do it, which I'm
6:07
going to do for y'all right here. There
6:10
we go. Yeah, that'll get them nice and
6:12
coated.
6:16
Break them apart. Make sure all sides
6:18
are coated.
6:20
Truly, this is going to be a wonderful
6:22
way to eat sweet potatoes. If you got
6:24
people that just don't like the
6:26
casserole form, the mushy form, then do
6:29
them like this.
6:31
I think we got them all nice and coated.
6:33
Don't worry about what's left down
6:34
there. We'll get it on there. All right,
6:41
we're going to be using a large sheet
6:43
pan that's pretty deep. And I've just
6:45
lined it with some parchment paper. That
6:47
way, it's easy clean up. We always like
6:50
that. I am using a triangle of Parmesan
6:54
cheese. You can even use the
6:57
refrigerated Parmesan cheese that's
6:59
already grated or shredded for you if
7:01
you want to do that. Why wouldn't you
7:03
want to do it fresh? Great flavor. I'm
7:07
just going to take my box shredder here
7:09
and we're going to shred this whole
7:11
triangle onto our sheetpan here.
7:15
We're going to get it on there really
7:17
good. We want a nice coating of this all
7:20
over
7:21
to be nice and cheesy for our potatoes.
7:25
You want about one cup.
7:28
Now, you may find that you have a lot of
7:30
sweet potatoes and you're going to need
7:33
two pans. Now, if that's the case, then
7:35
you can kind of like do half of this for
7:37
one pan and half for another.
7:40
But we're going to try to get them all
7:41
on here. All right, let's line our sheet
7:43
pan with our sweet potatoes right on top
7:46
of the cheese.
7:49
Leave just a little bit of room in
7:50
between.
7:54
We're going to try to get as many on
7:55
here as we can. Now, when you're placing
7:57
them on there, kind of smush them on
7:59
that cheese.
8:01
All right. Get them on there good. If I
8:03
have little ones, I'm going to put them
8:05
like right there on those those spots
8:06
there. I'm squishing, squishing,
8:09
squishing. I'm going to slather some of
8:10
that stuff up on some of these.
8:15
All right. I'm going to take what's left
8:17
of any of that butter mixture in there
8:18
and I'm just going to kind of brush it
8:20
on to the potatoes here.
8:24
Get it all on there. We don't want to
8:26
lose any of that flavor.
8:28
So, I'm just going to dollop it around.
8:32
There we go. Look at those.
8:36
Okay, I've got my oven preheated at
8:38
400°. We're going to roast these for
8:41
about 25 to 30 minutes. Now, if you want
8:45
to broil these to get them extra kind of
8:47
brown and crispy on the tops, I would do
8:49
that the last few minutes. Now, just
8:52
take a fork, press them through the
8:54
sweet potato, probably find the biggest
8:56
one, and just make that sure that it's
8:58
nice and tender before you pull these
9:00
out of the oven. All right, guys. We'll
9:02
be back for that golden moment. All
9:05
right, I've just pulled these out of the
9:07
oven. They smell delicious.
9:11
Look, look, look. M. Look at that. Nice
9:16
and crispy with that cheese.
9:19
There we go. I'm going to pull these
9:21
apart. We're going to plate these up.
9:23
I'm going to give one a try for you.
9:28
Make sure y'all leave that crispy
9:30
parmesan on there for people. I'm going
9:33
to put some parsley on top.
9:37
All right. What do y'all think?
9:39
My savory roasted sweet potatoes and
9:42
melted parmesan.
9:44
Look at this. Nice and crispy. I love
9:47
the edges with the Parmesan cheese still
9:50
on it. M. It's going to be nice and
9:51
crispy.
9:53
Look at the backside of it. Oh, yum.
9:58
All right, I'm going to give this one a
9:59
try for you.
10:04
M.
10:07
That's good.
10:08
It's nice and savory. I love that
10:11
roasted sweet potato. So good.
10:15
All right. What do y'all think? Present
10:17
them like this.
10:21
These are for those people that don't
10:22
like a sweet potato casserole.
10:25
Give them these right here. They are
10:28
delicious. All right, you guys. Happy
10:30
Thanksgiving to everyone. Happy
10:32
holidays.
10:34
I'll see y'all on the next episode. Bye.
