I’m the exact opposite with sweet potatoes. I always forget that I don’t like them. I want to like them so badly, I mean come on, bright orange mashed potatoes! But Everytime I try to eat one I just can’t finish it. It’s weird .
Same here. I think they’re just too sweet for me, somehow? Which is odd, because I’ll eat things like acorn squash which get kinda sweet when cooked. ::shrug::
Wash and peel a sweet potato or two. Cut into round slices ~1/2" thick (you can halve or even quarter these if it’s a real girthy boy). Coat generously with olive oil, salt, black pepper. Arrange slices in a single layer on a baking tray. Bake on bottom rack for like 40-60 minutes until bottoms have developed a rich caramel brown color. Let cool before using a spatula to remove slices from baking tray.
Use these as a salad topping with apple slices, feta, nuts, kale, cranberry, whatever you want.
Sweet potatoes. So yummy, just baked with butter and salt. I’m not sure why we don’t have them as a side more often.

Possibly the texture. Potatoes have a different texture than squash.
I can see that - some foods looking way more appealing than they actually are.
Preheat oven to 425°F/218°C

I like them with a little miso. Or miso butter. Damn, now I’m super hungry.
Oh yeah, good call. That would be delicious.
