Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Gather all your ingredients.
  2. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish generously with butter or nonstick spray.
  3. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk together cornstarch and heavy cream until smooth. Add in butter, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Heat until butter melts, avoiding boiling.
  4. Slice sweet potatoes to about 1/8-inch thick and layer them in the prepared baking dish.
  5. Pour creamy garlic butter sauce over the sweet potatoes, ensuring all slices are well-coated.

  7. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top and bake for an additional 10 minutes until cheese is melted and golden brown.
  8. For an extra crispy finish, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely.
