Asiago Sweet Potatoes

Another Fresh365online.com recipe, which means it's easy, tasty, and vegetarian. I like it with Asiago, but I've also had good results with Pecorino Romano. I've also used shallots in place of onions when that's all I had, and dried thyme in place of fresh, for the same reason. I do a little less olive oil than the recipe calls for--with all that cheese, you can get away with it.

Asiago Sweet Potatoes

serves 4

4 T olive oil
2 T fresh thyme leaves
2 medium sweet potatoes (or 1 1/2 large), sliced thin
2 small onions, sliced thin
2 c grated Asiago cheese

Preheat oven to 400F. In a casserole dish, drizzle 2 T olive oil, and sprinkle 1 T thyme. Layer sweet potato slices, slightly overlapping, followed by onions. Sprinkle with a handful of Asiago. Repeat, layering sweet potatoes, onion, and Asiago, until no ingredients remain, about 5-7 layers total. Drizzle with 2 T olive oil and sprinkle with 1 T thyme.

Transfer to oven, and bake until potatoes are cooked through, and cheese is brown and bubbling, about 45 minutes.

  1. Emma, this sounds really good. And, minus the olive oil, I can eat all of those foods. I'm going to try it using just a smidgen of oil.
