- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
- Toss with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
- Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
- Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot sweet potatoes and return to the oven for 5 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and slightly crisp.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving if desired.
Notes
- Add a pinch of red pepper flakes for extra heat.
- Increase oven temperature slightly at the end for crispier edges.
- Try adding dried thyme or rosemary for an herbal flavor.
- Freshly grated Parmesan melts better than pre-grated.
- Avoid overcrowding the pan for best caramelization.
