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:

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

Parmesan Cheese:

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Olive Oil:

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Italian Seasoning:

  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning

Salt and Pepper:

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Parsley (optional):

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Butter (optional):

  • 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

  • Add red pepper flakes for heat.
  • Experiment with rosemary, thyme, or oregano.
  • Try Pecorino Romano or Asiago cheese.
  • Make it vegan by using vegan Parmesan cheese and olive oil.
  • Roast additional vegetables like Brussels sprouts or broccoli.
  • Drizzle with maple syrup or honey for a sweet-savory twist.
  • For air fryer: Preheat to 380°F (190°C) and cook for 12-15 minutes, shaking halfway through.
