Description
These Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges are a delicious, healthy snack or side dish that combines the sweetness of sweet potatoes with savory garlic and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
- 3 medium or 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 4-5 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated, divided
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Scrub sweet potatoes clean and pat dry. Slice each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then cut each half into 2-3 long spears, and aim for uniform wedges.
- (Optional) Soak cut wedges in a large bowl of cold water for 20-30 minutes, then drain and dry.
- In a large bowl, mix minced garlic and olive oil. In a separate bowl, whisk together smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, red pepper flakes, sea salt, and black pepper.
- Coat sweet potato wedges in the garlic-infused olive oil, then sprinkle with the spice mixture and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Toss well.
- Spread wedges in a single layer on the baking sheets and roast for 15 minutes.
- Flip each wedge and roast for another 10-15 minutes until tender and slightly browned.
- Remove from oven, sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan over the wedges, and roast for an additional 5-7 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
- Transfer wedges to a serving platter, garnish with parsley, and serve immediately for the best crispiness.
