Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut them into wedges about 1 inch thick, which helps them cook evenly and become crispy on the outside.
  3. Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix thoroughly to create a flavorful oil blend that will coat the potatoes.
  4. Toss the Wedges: Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and toss them with the garlic oil mixture until every wedge is well coated with the seasoning.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated wedges and toss again to distribute the cheese evenly, which helps add flavor and a slight crispness.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for maximum crispiness during baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Halfway through, turn the wedges to ensure even cooking. They should become golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  8. Final Touch: Remove the wedges from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top while still hot, allowing it to melt slightly and add extra flavor.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the wedges to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for color and freshness, and serve immediately alongside your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are.

Notes

  • Cutting sweet potatoes evenly ensures uniform cooking and crispiness.
  • Using parchment paper on the baking sheet prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the wedges on the baking sheet.
  • Red pepper flakes are optional but add a nice subtle heat to the dish.
  • Parmesan cheese adds a savory flavor and helps create a crispy coating on the wedges.
  • Serve immediately for the best texture, as the wedges can soften if left to sit too long.
