Ingredients

1.5 kilograms Kumara 3 medium
25 grams salted butter
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon dried rosemary (1 tablespoon fresh chopped) (1 tablespoon fresh chopped)
salt and pepper

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees celsius
Thinly slice your kumara into disks, I used a mandolin for this but you can use a sharp knife.
Melt the butter, add the olive oil and rosemary to the melted butter and mix to combine.
Pour half of the butter/oil and rosemary mix into the bottom of a large baking dish.
Arange the slices of kumara into the baking dish so that they eventually sit almost vertically rather than lying flat.
Season the kumara with salt and pepper.
Brush the kumara slices with the remaining butter/oil.
Cover the baking dish with either a well fitted lid or tin foil and bake for 1 hour at 200 degrees.
Remove the lid or foil and bake for a further 10 minutes or so, so that the edges become a little golden.
Enjoy!

Notes

Rosemary: You can use either fresh or dried. Thyme also works well in this recipe.
Butter and Olive oil: I find the combination of the two gives the best flavour.
K?mara: This recipe will work with any variety of k?mara, I like to use a mixture to create a rainbow of colours.
