Savory and sweet roasted sweet potatoes tossed with garlic, Parmesan cheese, and Italian herbs. A simple and delicious side dish!

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes:

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

Garlic Parmesan Coating:

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

Optional:

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter, for extra richness

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash, peel, and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Place in a large bowl.
  2. Make Garlic Parmesan Coating: In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  3. Coat Sweet Potatoes: Drizzle olive oil over the sweet potatoes. Pour the garlic Parmesan mixture over the sweet potatoes. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Roast: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet.
  5. Cook: Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelized, flipping halfway through.
  6. Finish: Remove from oven and transfer to a serving bowl. Drizzle with melted butter (optional). Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (optional).
  7. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • Spice it up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the garlic Parmesan mixture for a little heat.
  • Add herbs: Experiment with different herbs, such as rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
  • Use different cheese: Try using Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheese instead of Parmesan.
  • Make it vegan: Use vegan Parmesan cheese and olive oil instead of butter.
  • Add vegetables: Roast other vegetables along with the sweet potatoes, such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, or carrots.
  • Sweet and savory: Drizzle a little maple syrup or honey over the sweet potatoes before roasting for a sweet and savory flavor combination.
  • Air Fryer Option: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Place the sweet potatoes in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to do this in batches). Cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown.
