Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

For sweet potatoes:
3 large garlic cloves
1/4 cup olive oil
2 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch-thick rounds
For fried sage:
1/3 cup olive oil
24 sage leaves

Steps:

  • Roast sweet potatoes:
  • Preheat oven 450°F with rack in upper third.
  • Purée garlic with oil and 3/4 teaspoon salt in a blender until smooth. Toss sweet potatoes with garlic oil in a large bowl, then spread in 1 layer in a 15-by 10-inch shallow baking pan.
  • Bake until golden in patches and cooked through, 20 to 30 minutes.
  • To fry sage leaves:
  • Heat oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then fry sage leaves in 2 batches, stirring, until crisp, 30 seconds to 1 minute per batch. Transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain.
  • Serve sweet potatoes with sage leaves scattered on top.
