Instructions

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into 1-inch cubes. Boil in a pot of lightly salted water for about 10-12 minutes until tender but not mushy. Drain well and set aside to cool.

Prepare the Baking Tray

Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet or casserole dish with olive oil.

Combine and Bake

In a large bowl, combine the cooked sweet potatoes, minced garlic, crushed black peppercorns, rock salt, shredded Amul cheese and chopped basil. Gently toss to combine.
Transfer the sweet potato mixture to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and slightly caramelized, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Serve

Serve warm as a side dish or a main course. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

Expert Tips

For extra flavor, add a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper to the sweet potato mixture.
If you don't have Amul cheese, feel free to substitute with any other type of cheese you prefer. Cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan would all work well.
To make this dish even more visually appealing, consider topping it with fresh herbs like parsley or chives before serving.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or oven.
