Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and diced into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, or to taste
- ½ teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- ½ teaspoon paprika (sweet or smoked)
- 4 cloves garlic, minced (about 1.5 tablespoons)
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional: Fresh parsley or chives, for garnish
- Optional: Pinch of red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat Oven & Prep Sweet Potatoes: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Peel and dice sweet potatoes into uniform 1-inch cubes.
- Season Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
- Initial Roast: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Roast for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges start to soften and lightly brown.
- Add Garlic & Parmesan: Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Flip the sweet potatoes. Sprinkle the minced garlic and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over them.
- Final Roast & Crisp: Return the baking sheet to the oven and continue roasting for another 10-15 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender, beautifully caramelized, and the Parmesan has formed a golden, crispy crust. Keep an eye on them to prevent garlic from burning.
- Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your incredibly delicious and crispy Garlic Parmesan Roasted Sweet Potatoes!
