The main star of this recipe is sweet potatoes. They have a mild, scratchy, sweet flavour and a crispy and caramelized exterior when cooked.
I seasoned this sweet potato side dish with brown sugar, butter, cinnamon and salt.
The brown sugar has a delicious caramel and toffee-like flavour. And when cooked with it, it gives the sweet potatoes a beautiful caramelization. The butter in this recipe adds a wonderfully soft, rich, and creamy flavour.
The cinnamon balances the sweet flavours with a powerful, woodsy, slightly citrusy taste. And like every great recipe, I seasoned it with salt to enhance all the flavours in the dish.

- 4 Sweet Potatoes, peeled and sliced into disks
