How to Make Sweet Potatoes With Parmesan Sage Butter

Steam or boil 2 lbs of sweet potatoes until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Pierce with a fork to check for doneness.
Drain the sweet potatoes thoroughly and let them cool slightly.
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a 13x9-inch casserole or baking dish with cooking spray or butter.
In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter over medium heat. Cook, swirling occasionally, until the butter just begins to brown, about 3-5 minutes.
Add 1 tablespoon of fresh sage leaves, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until the butter darkens to a deep golden brown, about 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to burn the butter.
Gently toss the cooled sweet potatoes with the browned butter mixture and 3/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover with a lid or aluminum foil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
Sprinkle with the remaining 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
