Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into 1-inch wedges
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into 1-inch wedges.
- In a small bowl, mix olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
- Toss the sweet potato wedges in the garlic oil mixture until evenly coated.
- Add half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the wedges and toss again.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese, and let it melt slightly.
- Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- For a vegan version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet; this helps the wedges crisp up evenly.
- Serve with garlic aioli, honey mustard, or chipotle ranch for extra flavor.
