Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Seasoning and Coating

  • 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
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for extra richness)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl for easy tossing.
  2. Make Garlic Parmesan Coating: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients thoroughly to ensure an even flavor distribution.
  3. Coat Sweet Potatoes: Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato cubes. Pour the garlic Parmesan seasoning mixture on top and toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  4. Roast: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  5. Cook: Roast the sweet potatoes in the oven for 20-25 minutes. Flip them halfway through cooking to promote even caramelization. They should be tender inside and slightly golden and crispy on the outside.
  6. Finish: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and transfer them to a serving bowl. If desired, drizzle the melted butter over the warm sweet potatoes for extra richness. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley to add color and freshness.
  7. Serve: Serve the garlic Parmesan roasted sweet potatoes immediately alongside your favorite main dishes and enjoy!

Notes

  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic Parmesan mixture for a subtle kick of heat.
  • Herb Variations: Try other herbs like rosemary, thyme, or oregano for different flavor profiles.
  • Cheese Variations: Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheese to change the taste.
  • Make it vegan: Use vegan Parmesan cheese and ensure the Italian seasoning is vegan-friendly. Swap butter for extra olive oil.
  • Add vegetables: Roast additional vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, or carrots alongside the sweet potatoes.
  • Sweet and savory: Drizzle maple syrup or honey over the sweet potatoes before roasting for a sweet-savory twist.
  • Air Fryer Option: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Spread sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer, working in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until tender and golden brown.
