Description
These Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges are a crispy, oven-baked side dish or snack that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with savory garlic and Parmesan. They’re golden and crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor from paprika, garlic, and cheese.
Ingredients
3 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, then cut them into evenly sized wedges.
- In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika until well coated.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure both sides become crispy and golden.
- Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if using, and serve warm.
Notes
Use smoked paprika for a deeper, smoky flavor.
Substitute garlic powder (1 tsp) if fresh garlic isn’t available.
Peel sweet potatoes if you prefer a smoother texture.
To reheat, bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
