Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• Vanilla ice cream (for serving)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
2. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife.
3. In a medium bowl, combine the flour, rolled oats, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
4. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the dry ingredients until it resembles coarse crumbs.
5. In the greased baking dish, arrange a layer of sliced sweet potatoes, overlapping slightly. Sprinkle a portion of the crumble mixture over the sweet potatoes. Repeat the layers until all the sweet potatoes and crumble mixture are used, ending with a layer of crumble mixture on top.
6. Drizzle the lemon juice evenly over the crisp and sprinkle the lemon zest on top.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the topping is golden brown and crispy.
8. Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
9. Serve the sweet potato crisp warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
10. Enjoy!
