Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Garlic Parmesan Coating

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Garnish and Optional

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for extra richness)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the sweet potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove dirt and skin. Cut them into evenly sized 1-inch cubes to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Mix garlic Parmesan coating: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to distribute flavors evenly.
  3. Coat the sweet potatoes: Place the sweet potato cubes in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the olive oil over them, then pour in the garlic Parmesan mixture. Toss thoroughly using your hands or a spoon until every cube is evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  4. Roast the sweet potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup. Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through to ensure even crisping and tender insides.
  5. Finish and garnish: If desired, drizzle melted butter over the roasted sweet potatoes for extra richness. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving to add a fresh, bright note.

Notes

  • For even cooking, try to keep sweet potato cubes uniform in size.
  • Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese enhances flavor more than pre-grated varieties.
  • You can substitute fresh Italian herbs for dried if preferred, but adjust quantities as fresh herbs are less concentrated.
  • To make it vegan, omit the Parmesan cheese or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
  • Roasting time can vary depending on oven and size of cubes; check doneness by piercing with a fork—it should be tender inside and crispy outside.
