Ingredients
  • 2 Sweet potatoes
  • Olive oil as needed
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 8 1 teaspoon slices Salted butter
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, or more to taste
  • Sliced green onions

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise and poke holes in the skin with a fork. Rub with olive oil; season with salt and pepper.
  2. In a baking dish, place 2 slices of butter per potato. Pile Parmesan over each pair of butter slices in the shape of the potato, then lay a potato half face down on top.
  3. Bake in the preheated oven until soft inside and crispy on the edges, about 30 minutes. Turn potatoes cut side up and top with green onions to serve.
