Smashed Sweet Potatoes
Easy smashed sweet potatoes are the perfect crispy finger-food side dish or appetizer for every entree--pork, steak, chicken, burgers, and seafood. Each bite is soft and savory in the center with a crispy outside. I serve with a quick homemade lemon-garlic dip you can make in under a minute. It's a crowd-favorite alternative to french fries, so switch it up with this fun dish.

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prep the sweet potatoes - Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. You can peel the sweet potatoes, but I prefer to leave the skins on. Slice into 3/4-inch rounds.*
2
Season - In a large bowl, combine the olive oil and seasonings and stir to combine. Add the sweet potato rounds and toss to evenly coat.
3
Roast - Arrange the rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet with a little space between them. Roast for ⏱️ 25-30 minutes, or until fork-tender but not falling apart. Do not overcook.
4
Smash - Remove from the oven. Using the bottom of a measuring cup or spatula, gently press each round until it spreads slightly and cracks at the edges. Do not flatten them too much, or they will fall apart.
5
Broil - Brush lightly with extra virgin olive oil to help them crisp up, then broil for 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes, watching closely, until the tops and edges are browned and the sweet potatoes are lightly caramelized.

Make the Dipping Sauce - While the sweet potatoes roast, whisk together the dipping sauce ingredients and hot sauce if using, and serve with the warm smashed sweet potatoes.
