Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes

Seasoning & Toppings

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting.
  3. Toss with Seasonings: In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss thoroughly to coat all pieces evenly.
  4. Add Parmesan: Add half of the grated Parmesan cheese to the sweet potatoes and mix to ensure a cheesy coating.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet to allow even roasting.
  6. Roast Potatoes: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 25 minutes. Then, flip the pieces to promote even browning, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over them, and continue roasting for another 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes are golden brown and crisp.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven, optionally sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a burst of color and fresh flavor, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • You can substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano if preferred.
  • Fresh parsley adds a nice touch but can be omitted or replaced with other herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Roasting time may vary slightly depending on oven and potato size; check for tenderness before finishing.
