Ingredients
Sweet Potato Wedges:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons extra‑virgin olive oil
Garlic Parmesan Coating:
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preparing the Wedges: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). While it heats, scrub the sweet potatoes, pat them dry, and cut each into four even wedges. Drying is crucial; excess moisture will steam the wedges rather than roast them to perfection.
- Coating the Potatoes: Arrange the coated wedges in a single layer on a parchment‑lined baking sheet, leaving a little space between each piece. Roast for 20 minutes, then flip each wedge using tongs to promote even browning.
- Finishing Touches: Remove the wedges from the oven and immediately drizzle with fresh lemon juice, if using. Sprinkle chopped parsley over the top for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve while hot for the best texture and taste.
Notes
- These wedges are best served fresh out of the oven for optimal crispiness.
- You can customize the seasoning to suit your taste preferences.
- For a spicier version, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the coating mixture.
