Steamrolled sweet potatoes are steamed, halved, smashed, then roasted and broiled to achieve a perfectly crispy texture. This sweet and savory side dish is going to be your new favorite way to prepare sweet potatoes.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 medium sweet potatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
3 teaspoons olive oil, divided
2 teaspoons minced fresh rosemary
2 teaspoons minced fresh sage
1/4 cup finely grated Gruyere cheese
Hot honey, for drizzling

Directions

Poke several holes in each sweet potato. Place on a microwave-safe plate; microwave on high 4-6 minutes or until fork-tender, flipping halfway through.
Preheat the broiler.
Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise. Use the back of a fork to gently smash to 1/2-in. thickness. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a large cast-iron skillet, heat butter and 1-1/2 teaspoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the sweet potatoes into the hot skillet, flesh side down. Cook for 4 minutes without disturbing. Brush the skin side with the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Flip; cook another 3 minutes. Sprinkle each sweet potato with rosemary, sage and Gruyere.
Transfer the skillet to the oven; broil until cheese is bubbly and the edges of the sweet potato are crispy, 2-3 minutes. Drizzle with hot honey to serve.
