Calories:
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
- Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Scrub and dry the sweet potatoes, then cut them into 1-inch wedges so they bake evenly and turn crispy.
- In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes if you’d like some heat.
- Toss the wedges in the mixture until fully coated, then add half the Parmesan cheese and toss again so it sticks nicely to the surface.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet, leaving space between them for crisping.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges are golden and the centers are tender.
- Once baked, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan over the hot wedges and let it melt slightly.
- Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley and serve warm with your favorite dip like garlic aioli, ranch, or tangy Greek yogurt.
