Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Optional Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, for extra richness

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it is hot enough for crispy, caramelized edges on the sweet potatoes.
  2. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes for even roasting and the perfect texture.
  3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with minced garlic, olive oil, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  4. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the seasoned sweet potatoes and gently toss again to distribute the cheese evenly.
  5. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, until the potatoes are tender and golden brown.
  6. Optional Butter Addition: For extra richness, drizzle the melted butter over the roasted sweet potatoes and toss gently to coat.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • For a spicier version, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the Italian seasoning.
  • To make it vegan, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a vegan cheese alternative.
  • Ensure sweet potatoes are cut into uniform pieces for even roasting.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.
  • You can prepare this dish a day ahead; just reheat it in the oven before serving to maintain crispiness.
