Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2–3 very large sweet potatoes (you can use purple and orange sweet potatoes or just orange)
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) plant/vegan butter
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 3 fresh thyme sprigs, plus more for garnishing if desired
- pinch salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.
- Peel the sweet potatoes, and then cut the potatoes in half. Preferably using a mandoline slicer, slice your sweet potatoes into 1/4-1/2 inch thick slices, then set aside.
- In your large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
**NOTE: if you have a light-colored skillet that is better to use so you can tell when your butter is browned. Otherwise, I would say this takes about 5 minutes. - Once the butter is melted, add the thyme sprigs and allow the butter to brown, whisking occasionally.
- Slowly add the bourbon to the skillet and whisk. Allow the bourbon to infuse into the butter for just about a minute or two.
**NOTE: once the butter starts to turn brown, keep an eye on it as it will burn quickly. - Remove from heat and carefully pour the bourbon browned butter into a measuring cup.
- To the same skillet, layer the sweet potatoes in an alternating pattern, starting around the outside of the pan moving toward the center.
- Whisk the butter in the measuring cup, then pour it over the potatoes evenly.
- Roast in the oven for 35-40 minutes. Remove from the oven and let them cool for 10 minutes before serving.
**NOTE: certain vegan butters bubble up and foam, this will go down as you let them cool.
