Good to know

Chef's tip

For an ultra-tender center without burning the outside, cover the grill pan with a lid or a sheet of aluminum foil for the last 3 minutes of cooking. This traps the steam while preserving the crispness of the grill marks.

Freezing : Can you freeze this recipe?

Yes

Very good, up to 3 months in airtight bags or containers.

Storage : How long does it keep?

Keeps 3 to 4 days max in an airtight container in the fridge.

Making ahead : Can you make it the day before?

Yes

Sweet potatoes washed and cut the day before, stored in an airtight container in the fridge.

Reheating : How do you reheat it?

180°C oven or air fryer 5-10min to crisp up. Microwave softens the texture.

Variations

  • Spicy version: add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the olive oil.
  • Garlicky version: rub the warm rounds with a halved garlic clove as soon as they come out of the pan.
  • Sweet and savory version: drizzle some maple syrup over the rounds just before turning off the heat.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Cutting slices that are too thick, which would leave the center hard while the outside burns.
  • Placing the rounds in a pan that is not hot enough, which keeps you from getting nice caramelized grill marks.
  • Piling the rounds on top of each other, which would make them steam instead of grill.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to peel the sweet potato before cooking?

No, the skin helps it hold together when cut, crisps up over the heat and holds valuable nutrients. Simply scrub it under lukewarm water.

Can I use dried rosemary instead of fresh?

Yes, but dried rosemary tends to blacken faster over high heat. It is better to work it into the oil as a fine powder rather than as whole leaves.

How can I tell if the sweet potato slices are done?

Insert the blade of a small knife into the center of a slice. It should slide in with no resistance at all, just like going into butter.

Can I make this recipe in a regular pan?

Absolutely. You will not get the characteristic striped marks of a grill pan, but you will get a nice, even golden browning over the entire surface.
