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
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)

Toppings and 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.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch thick wedges to promote even cooking and a crisp texture.
  3. Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to form a flavorful oil blend.
  4. Toss the Wedges: Place the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl and toss them with the prepared garlic oil mixture until evenly coated.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated wedges and toss again to distribute evenly.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the lined baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded for better crispiness.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through to ensure even baking. The wedges should become golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  8. Final Touch: Remove the wedges from the oven. While they are still hot, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top to allow it to melt slightly.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the wedges to a serving platter and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is.

Notes

  • For spicier wedges, increase the red pepper flakes according to your taste preference.
  • Cutting the wedges uniformly helps achieve even cooking and consistent crispiness.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Parmesan cheese adds a savory, slightly nutty flavor and enhances crispiness when baked.
  • Leftover wedges can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to restore crispness.
