Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

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

Seasoning & Coating

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

Oils & Garnish

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut the sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place them in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Make Garlic Parmesan Coating: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.
  3. Coat Sweet Potatoes: Drizzle the olive oil over the cubed sweet potatoes. Pour the garlic Parmesan seasoning mixture on top. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are thoroughly coated with the mixture.
  4. Roast: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even roasting.
  5. Cook: Roast the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes. About halfway through cooking, flip the pieces to promote even caramelization and tenderness.
  6. Finish: Once roasted to a tender and slightly caramelized state, remove from the oven. Transfer to a serving bowl and, if desired, drizzle the melted butter over the top for extra richness. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley for added color and freshness.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy this flavorful side dish alongside your favorite main course.

Notes

  • Cheese Variations: Substitute Parmesan with Pecorino Romano or Asiago for different cheesy notes.
  • Herb Variations: Replace dried Italian seasoning with fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme, or sage for a more aromatic flavor profile.
  • Make it Vegan: Omit Parmesan cheese or use a vegan Parmesan substitute and ensure the Italian seasoning blend is vegan-friendly.
  • Air Fryer Option: Cook sweet potatoes at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. Avoid overcrowding the basket to ensure even cooking.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
