Candied Sweet Potato Casserole

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thinly (about 1/4 inch). Aim for uniform slices for even cooking.

Step 3

Place the sweet potato slices in a single layer in a casserole dish, overlapping slightly like shingles.

Step 4

Drizzle the melted butter evenly over the sweet potatoes.

Step 5

Sprinkle the brown sugar over the sweet potatoes, making sure to work some of the sugar between the slices for added flavor.

Step 6

Dot the casserole with cubed butter, spreading the pieces evenly across the top.

Step 7

Cover the dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender.

Step 8

Remove the foil and increase the oven temperature to 475°F (245°C) or switch to a broil setting.

Step 9

Broil for an additional 10–15 minutes, until the top is caramelized and slightly crispy.

Step 10

Let the casserole cool slightly before serving. Pair it with your favorite protein for a comforting side dish.
