Buttery sweet potatoes oven baked with bleu cheese

Love sweet potatoes? Try these twice baked sweet potatoes.

If you’ve had trouble cooking sweet potatoes in the oven, this recipe will turn your luck around. It’s easy to burn sweet potato fries because they are so small. In this recipe, the sweet potatoes bake in the oven as discs.

The edges caramelize from seasoned butter. And the insides are soft and fluffy like mashed potatoes. It’s almost impossible to burn this recipe.

This low-maintenance recipe takes about 45 minutes in the oven. Turn the buttered sweet potatoes halfway through, so each side crisps.

Buttery sweet potatoes look like art when plated with cilantro and bleu cheese. You can top them with any cheese, but a creamy, sharp bleu cheese is a perfect match for buttery sweet potatoes.
