Description
Roasted Sweet Potato Medallions are tender, caramelized rounds of sweet potatoes roasted with butter and thyme until golden. They’re simple, flavorful, and versatile enough to pair with any meal.
Ingredients
2 pounds sweet potatoes (2–3 large)
4 tablespoons butter, melted (or substitute coconut oil)
1 teaspoon thyme
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/2-inch discs.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Toss sweet potato slices with melted butter, thyme, salt, and pepper directly on the sheet.
- Spread in a single layer and roast in the center of the oven for 20 minutes.
- Remove, flip each medallion, and roast another 15–20 minutes until golden and caramelized. If not browned enough before flipping, roast 3–5 extra minutes first.
Notes
Drizzle with maple syrup or honey for a sweet glaze.
Use rosemary instead of thyme for a different herb flavor.
Add smoked paprika, cayenne, or garlic powder for extra seasoning.
Reheat in the oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
Can be roasted ahead and reheated before serving.
