Garlic encrusted roast sweet potatoes Recipe

Name: Garlic encrusted roast sweet potatoes
Prep time: 15 min
Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 2 large sweet potatoes with a nice even girth; 1 slice white bread at least a day old; 2 tbsp flour - plain/all purpose; 1 tsp garlic powder; 1 clove minced garlic; 1 tsp onion powder; 1 tsp chopped parsley; 1 sea salt; 1 black pepper; 1 tbsp sunflower or vegetable oil

Servings: persons

1
Blitz the slice of bread in the food processor to make breadcrumbs.
2
Mix the flour with the crumbs and place in a baking tray in a warm oven (gas 3 in my oven, from cold but I drop to 2 if I've been using the oven and it's already hot) for about 15 minutes - not to colour them by toasting but just enough to dry them out - the flour will help.
3
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely
4
Once cold place in a bowl, add minced garlic (fresh or lazy garlic from a jar) and mix through, then add garlic and onion powders, chopped parsley (fresh or dried) a good grind of sea salt (or a 1/4 teaspoon of cooking salt) and the same with the black pepper
5
The coating can be made ahead of time - keep in a sealed jar or container this should last 4 weeks in the refrigerator - it's also great for red or white potatoes or butternut squash and nice warmed through on the BBQ in place of jacket potatoes
6
Wash the sweet potatoes and slice into half inch rounds
7
Put potato into a plastic sandwich bag and add the oil.
8
Shake the bag to ensure the slices are completely covered.
9
Add 2 tablespoons of the dry coating to the bag and shake again.
10
Empty potatoes out of the bag into a bowl and refrigerate.
11
Try to do this in the morning and give them a half day to dry a little - if you bake these immediately a lot of the coating will fall off but the cold of the fridge dehydrates them a little and the coating clings a lot better.
12
Ready to bake?
13
Set temperature quite high gas 7 I think is about 220 degrees C
14
Place your rounds onto a baking tray and bake in the middle of the oven for 20-25 minutes.
15
They should be firm to handle but be soft to cut.
16
Why not try on large potato wedges cut from baking potatoes and serve with my cheeseburgers
