Description

This Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Garlic and Parmesan recipe is a simple and flavorful side dish featuring tender sweet potato cubes tossed with garlic, olive oil, and smoked paprika, then roasted to perfection and finished with a savory Parmesan cheese coating. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside, it’s an easy and delicious addition to any meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

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

Seasonings and Oil

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Toppings

  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
  2. Toss Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika if using. Toss until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Avoid overcrowding to allow for proper roasting and crispiness.
  4. Roast: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25 to 30 minutes, tossing the sweet potatoes once halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and tenderness.
  5. Add Parmesan: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes. Toss gently to evenly coat the pieces with the melted cheese.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top for a touch of color and freshness if desired. Serve the roasted sweet potatoes immediately while warm.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the pan; use two baking sheets if necessary.
  • Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes if you like a spicy kick.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted chicken, steak, or can be served as a festive holiday side.
