Savory Sweet Potato Casserole is a delicious new way to enjoy this classic Thanksgiving side dish! Tender bite-sized pieces of sweet potato are combined with fresh herbs and seasonings, sprinkled with a cheesy crispy topping, and baked to perfection. This recipe is easy enough for weeknight dinners, yet it's perfect for the holidays, too!
Prepare a 9X13 inch baking dish by spraying it with nonstick cooking spray. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees fahrenheit.
Pour the cubed sweet potatoes into the prepared baking dish in an even layer.
In a medium bowl whisk together the butter, chicken stock, thyme, oregano, parsley garlic, salt and pepper. Briskly whisk in the flour, taking care to not create any clumps.
In a separate bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, parsley, and olive oil. Be sure to mix everything well, evenly distributing the olive oil.
Pour the liquid mixture over the potatoes in the baking dish. Top the potatoes with the crispy topping, evenly distributing it all over the casserole.
Bake for 45 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown. Check the casserole after 30 minutes and cover with foil if the topping is getting too browned.
