Tender roasted sweet potatoes caramelized to golden perfection, tossed with garlic and finished with a savory Parmesan crust.

Ingredients

  • 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)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
  3. Toss with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika until evenly coated.
  4. Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Roast for 25–30 minutes, turning halfway through, until tender and lightly browned.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
