Description

These irresistible Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges are a delicious and healthy snack, transforming humble sweet potatoes into a gourmet delight.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 23 medium-sized sweet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 46 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Optional: Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash and scrub sweet potatoes clean; pat dry thoroughly to ensure crispiness.
  3. Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3-4 wedges, aiming for 1/2 to 3/4 inch thick pieces for even cooking.
  4. Mince 4-6 cloves of fresh garlic very finely.
  5. In a large bowl, combine sweet potato wedges, 3 tbsp olive oil, minced garlic, 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.
  6. Toss thoroughly with clean hands until every wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
  7. Arrange seasoned wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring space between each piece to prevent steaming.
  8. Bake for 25-35 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Bake undisturbed for the first 15-20 minutes, then flip the wedges and continue baking for another 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender inside and golden brown and crispy outside.
  9. Remove from oven. Optionally, sprinkle with extra freshly grated Parmesan cheese and finely chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish.
  10. Serve hot immediately to enjoy optimal crispiness. These wedges are versatile as a side dish, healthy snack, or appetizer, and pair well with various dipping sauces.
  11. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-8 minutes to restore crispiness; microwaving is not recommended.
