Ingredients
  

2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped

1 teaspoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

1 sheet of store-bought pie crust (homemade can be used if preferred)

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thinly sliced sweet potatoes with olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, chopped rosemary, and chopped thyme. Toss the ingredients together gently until the sweet potatoes are well-coated with the oil and seasonings.

      Roll Out the Pie Crust: If you are using homemade pie crust, roll it out on a lightly floured surface to achieve a thickness of about 1/8 inch. If opting for store-bought, simply unroll it and lay it flat on the prepared baking sheet.

        Assemble the Galettes: With the oven warming, begin assembling your galette. Place the pie crust on the lined baking sheet. Neatly arrange the seasoned sweet potato slices in a circular pattern on the crust, leaving about a 2-inch border around the edges. To enhance visual appeal, slightly overlap the sweet potato slices.

          Add the Cheese: Evenly sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese over the arranged sweet potato slices. For added flavor, allow some cheese to fall over the edges of the galette.

            Fold the Edges: Carefully fold the edges of the pie crust over the filling, creating small pleats as you go around. This process not only helps contain the filling but also adds a beautiful rustic touch to the galette.

              Apply Egg Wash: Using a brush, coat the exposed pie crust edges with the beaten egg. This will create a lovely golden-brown color as it bakes.

                Bake the Galette: Transfer the galette to your preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes. The galette is ready when the sweet potatoes are tender and the crust turns a delicious golden brown.

                  Garnish: Once you remove the galette from the oven, allow it to cool slightly. Before serving, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley over the top for a burst of color and freshness.

                    Serve and Enjoy: Slice the galette into wedges and enjoy it warm or at room temperature. This dish makes for a delightful appetizer or an impressive main course!
