Hasselback Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar, Butter & Cinnamon Glaze

Oh my! Hasselback Sweet Potatoes with Brown Sugar and Cinnamon are delicious!   You can make them plain for a healthy version, or glazed with a butter, brown sugar and cinnamon blend like I did here.  Perhaps serve the glaze on the side and let folks control the amount of buttery goodness they want to consume.

Consider adding crushed toasted pecans, mini-marshmallows and a drizzle of maple syrup for an over-the-top treat. You can be creative and stuff Hasselback Potatoes with just about anything. Try a Loaded Russet Hasselback Potatoes stuffed with cheese, sour cream, chives and crispy bacon.

They are also very easy to make!

The technique to turn a sweet potato into a Hasselback Sweet Potato is easy.  With a sharp knife, (thank you to my husband for the amazing Shun Bob Kramer Chef Knife), slice 3/4’s of the way through the potato. I like the slices about 1/4 inch thick.   Make a glaze with butter, brown sugar and cinnamon.

Bake the cut sweet potatoes in a 400F oven for 45 minutes.  Baste with glaze and roast for another 10 minutes.

Serve with some of the sweet buttery juice drizzled on top.  They were perfect paired with Roasted Turkey Mojo Criollo and Cranberry& Tangerine Chutney with Mango.
