Crispy Parmesan Thyme Sweet Potato Stacks are an elegant and flavorful side dish made with thinly sliced sweet potatoes layered with garlic, fresh thyme, and Parmesan cheese. Baked in a muffin tin for perfectly crisp edges and tender centers, they’re easy to make yet impressive on any dinner table.

Ingredients

  • 2–3 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced (about 1/8 inch thick)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or oil.
  2. Peel and thinly slice the sweet potatoes using a mandoline or sharp knife (about 1/8 inch thick).
  3. In a large bowl, mix olive oil or melted butter with garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  4. Add the sweet potato slices and toss until evenly coated with the oil mixture.
  5. Stack about 8–10 slices into each muffin cup, pressing down slightly.
  6. Sprinkle the tops of each stack with grated Parmesan cheese.
  7. Cover the muffin tin with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
  8. Remove foil and continue baking uncovered for 15–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the potatoes are tender.
  9. Let rest for 5 minutes, then carefully remove the stacks using a spoon or small knife. Serve warm.

Notes

Use a mandoline for evenly thin slices to ensure even cooking.Try different cheeses like Gruyère or Asiago for variation.Add crushed nuts on top before baking for texture and flavor.Use dried thyme if fresh isn’t available—use one-third the amount.Best served fresh, but can be reheated in the oven to maintain crispiness.
