Description

Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges are a crispy, flavorful side or snack made with seasoned sweet potato wedges baked to perfection and topped with Parmesan and herbs. Healthier than traditional fries, these wedges are easy to make and packed with bold, savory flavor.

Ingredients

2 large sweet potatoes

4 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (for added heat)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub sweet potatoes; cut into 1-inch thick wedges.
In a bowl, mix olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Toss sweet potato wedges with the seasoned oil.
Add half the Parmesan cheese and toss again.
Spread wedges on the baking sheet in a single layer.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp on the edges.
Sprinkle remaining Parmesan over hot wedges and let it melt slightly.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Use dairy-free Parmesan or nutritional yeast for a vegan option.
Add herbs like thyme or rosemary for extra flavor.
Swap Parmesan for Pecorino Romano or smoked cheddar.
Drizzle honey or maple syrup before baking for a sweet-savory twist.
Broil for 2–3 minutes at the end for crispier wedges.
