Ingredients
  

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley optional

Equipment

  • Large baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Large bowl
  • Small bowl
  • Oven
  • Measuring spoons
  • Measuring cups
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are tender and slightly browned.
  5. While the wedges are baking, prepare the garlic parmesan coating. In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese.
  6. Once the wedges are done baking, remove them from the oven and immediately brush them with the garlic parmesan mixture.
  7. Return the wedges to the oven and bake for another 3-5 minutes, or until the parmesan is melted and slightly golden brown.
  8. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley (if using) and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy wedges, soak the sweet potato wedges in cold water for 30 minutes before seasoning and baking. Adjust the seasonings to your liking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes, or in an air fryer for a crispier result. Variations include adding cayenne pepper for spicy wedges or fresh rosemary for herbaceous wedges.
