Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Wedges

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Topping

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges about 1 inch thick to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  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 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 evenly coated.
  5. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and mix again to distribute the cheese evenly.
  6. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd for optimal crispiness.
  7. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through to ensure even cooking. They should develop a golden brown, crisp exterior.
  8. Final Touch: Remove the wedges from the oven, then immediately sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top so it melts slightly over the hot wedges.
  9. Garnish and Serve: Transfer the wedges to a serving platter, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over them for color and freshness, and serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy as is.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, soak sweet potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before cooking, then dry thoroughly.
  • Use fresh garlic for the most aromatic flavor, but garlic powder can be substituted if needed.
  • If you prefer less spicy, omit the red pepper flakes.
  • These wedges reheat well in an oven or air fryer to restore crispiness.
  • Pair with ranch dressing, spicy mayo, or ketchup for dipping.
