Crispy and flavorful Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges baked to perfection with a blend of smoked paprika, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, garnished with fresh parsley for a delicious and easy side dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes

Seasonings and Toppings

  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for heat)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Cut them into wedges about 1 inch thick to ensure even cooking and a crispy texture.
  3. Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Mix well to create a flavorful garlic oil blend.
  4. Toss the Wedges: Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and toss them with the garlic oil mixture until each wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and mix again carefully to distribute the cheese evenly without breaking the wedges.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potato wedges out in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. This will help them crisp up perfectly.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Turn the wedges halfway through baking to ensure even golden browning and crispiness on all sides.
  8. Final Touch: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the hot wedges, allowing the cheese to melt slightly and add extra flavor.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the sweet potato wedges to a serving platter and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for color and freshness. Serve immediately with your choice of dipping sauce or enjoy them on their own.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • For extra crispiness, make sure the wedges are spread out and not overcrowded on the baking sheet.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes according to your heat preference or omit if you prefer no spice.
  • Fresh Parmesan cheese melts better and adds more flavor than pre-grated varieties.
  • Sweet potatoes vary in size; adjust cooking time accordingly if wedges are thicker or thinner.
