Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes, washed and sliced into discs (¾ inch width)
2 Tbsps of wild garlic oil (or EVOO if you don’t have any garlic oil on hand)
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 Tbsps of butter, melted
1 Tbsp of honey
2 sprigs of thyme, leaves removed and chopped

Lightly oil a 10” cast iron skillet or oven safe baking pan. Arrange the discs of sweet potato into a spiral.
Place the skillet/pan in the oven for 35-45 minutes or until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown.
