Ingredients:
- 4 small sweet potatoes
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped
- 2 teaspoons fresh oregano, chopped (plus extra to serve)
- Black pepper, to taste
Method:
- PREHEAT oven to 200°C. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- PLACE a sweet potato between two chopsticks or skewers. Cut thin, vertical slices, approximately 0.5cm apart. The chopsticks/skewers will prevent the knife from cutting all the way through. Repeat with remaining potatoes and place on prepared baking tray.
- COMBINE garlic, olive oil, thyme, oregano and pepper in a small bowl.
- BRUSH oil mixture over potatoes, making sure to get in between the slices.
- BAKE in preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until golden and tender.
- SERVE topped with fresh oregano leaves.
