Description
This recipe provides simple steps for making sweet potatoes roasted until tender and coated with savory garlic and Parmesan cheese.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes.
- Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and the cheese is golden brown and slightly crispy.
- Remove from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, ensure your oven is fully preheated before adding the potatoes.
- You can substitute garlic powder for fresh garlic, using 1/2 teaspoon of powder instead of 3 cloves.
- If you prefer a softer cheese coating, add the Parmesan during the last 2 minutes of cooking instead of the last 5-10 minutes.
