1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
# Steps:

Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with butter or nonstick spray.

In a small saucepan, whisk cornstarch into heavy cream until smooth. Add butter, minced garlic, and chopped thyme. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Heat over medium-low, stirring constantly, until butter melts and mixture is hot but not boiling.

Pour the hot garlic cream mixture evenly over the arranged sweet potatoes. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 30 minutes.

Remove foil and sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese on top. Return to oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes, or broil for a golden brown finish, watching closely to prevent burning.

Let the bake stand for 10 minutes after removing from the oven before serving to allow the sauce to thicken.

Arrange sweet potato slices uniformly for even baking and optimal texture.
