-
4 tablespoons
butter, divided

3
large sweet potatoes

3
cloves garlic, smashed

2 teaspoons
salt
-
1 teaspoon
ground black pepper

Tuck in garlic and thyme among slices. Brush sweet potato slices with remaining two tablespoons melted butter. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper.

Bake until potatoes are tender and crisp, about 1 ¼ hours. Garnish with more thyme.
Serving suggestion: top potatoes with a dollop of sour cream.
