Brown Butter and Sage Sweet Potato Stacks

This recipe was inspired by a gorgeous photo I saw in Cooking Light Magazines years ago. As I am one to do, I saved that recipe knowing that one day I would truly enjoy making it. Food Magazines may seem like something of the past, but I still get excited when a new one arrives in the mail. There is something special about sitting down with a new magazine and dog earring all the delicious possibilities.

I am convinced brown butter makes everything better, and this recipe is no exception to that rule. The nutty brown butter and rich sage bring an incredible depth of flavor to your normally already delicious sweet potato.

We all eat with our eyes and there is no denying that the presentation here makes you want to try this. Overly simply to make, but absolutely stunning in the end. The perfect addition to your Holiday spread. This dish will undoubtedly wow your guests visually with flavors to impress.
