Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes

Seasoning Mixture

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Cheese & Garnish

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

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 1-inch thick wedges to guarantee even cooking and crispiness.
  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. Stir well to create a flavorful garlic oil blend.
  4. Toss the Wedges: Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Pour the seasoning mixture over them and toss well until all wedges are evenly coated with the flavorful oil.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated wedges and mix again gently to distribute the cheese evenly.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet ensuring they are not crowded. This will help them crisp up nicely while baking.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Turn the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning. They should be golden and crisp on the outside.
  8. Final Touch: Remove the wedges from the oven and while they are still hot, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top so it melts slightly, enhancing the flavor.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the wedges to a serving platter, sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and freshness, and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is!

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak the sweet potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning to remove excess starch, then pat dry completely.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes according to your heat preference or omit for a milder taste.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and melting quality.
  • If you prefer a dairy-free version, omit the Parmesan and garnish with nutritional yeast or fresh herbs.
  • Sweet potatoes bake better in a single layer, so use two baking sheets if needed to avoid overcrowding.
