Ingredients

• 4 medium Kumara (sweet potatoes)
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

Peel the kumara (sweet potatoes) and cut them into 1-inch thick rounds for even cooking.

Step 3

In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Once melted, stir in the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until combined. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Place the kumara slices in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush both sides of each slice generously with the sugar-butter mixture using a pastry brush.

Step 5

Bake the kumara in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes or until the slices are tender and lightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through cooking.

Step 6

Once baked, transfer the kumara slices to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm.
