A simple recipe for achieving crispy, flavorful roasted sweet potato cubes seasoned with garlic and Parmesan cheese, perfect as a side dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit (220 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup.
  2. Place the sweet potato cubes in a large bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and toss to coat evenly.
  3. In a small bowl, mix together the garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Sprinkle this seasoning mix over the sweet potatoes and toss again until all pieces are coated.
  4. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary to ensure crispiness.
  5. Roast for 20 minutes.
  6. Remove the pan from the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Gently toss the potatoes on the sheet to coat them lightly with the cheese.
  7. Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and the edges are crispy and golden brown.
  8. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For maximum crispiness, ensure the sweet potatoes are cut into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  • Do not skip the single-layer arrangement on the baking sheet; overcrowding steams the potatoes instead of roasting them.
  • If you prefer a sweeter flavor, substitute the garlic powder and Parmesan with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup tossed with the potatoes before the first roast.
