Wash, dry, and trim the ends of the sweet potatoes. Place each potato between butter knives or cooking spoons on a cutting board and carefully slice crosswise without cutting through. Repeat for all potatoes. Mix light butter with herbs and garlic in a small bowl. Rub the mixture over the sweet potatoes, ensuring even coverage. Optionally, stuff some butter into the slices. Sprinkle salt over the potatoes.

Hasselback Sweet Potatoes are easy to customize for any palate. For a sweet twist, reduce the herbs and brush maple syrup onto the potatoes before baking, finishing with toasted pecans. Swap light butter for olive or vegetable oil to achieve a crispy skin without drying them out. Experiment with cheeses like cheddar, mozzarella, or goat cheese for a unique flavor. Seasoning options are endless—try Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, or garlic powder for variety. For a savory touch, top with crispy bacon bits just before serving.
Tips and Tricks

For perfectly cooked Weight Watchers Hasselbeck Sweet Potatoes, slice them as thinly as possible for even cooking, and keep in mind that cooking times may vary based on potato size. If one finishes earlier, remove it and continue baking the others. To ensure an even coating, rub the light butter substitute onto the potatoes with your hands instead of brushing it on. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-5 days, or freeze and reheat as needed.
