Ingredients
Scale
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed into 1-inch pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil until they are evenly coated.
Add the minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Toss everything together until the potatoes are well seasoned.
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 promote crisping.
Roast for 15 minutes.
Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the potatoes. Gently toss them on the pan.
Return the potatoes to the oven and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and the edges are nicely caramelized and crispy.
Serve immediately as your best roasted sweet potatoes side dish.
Notes
For extra crispy roasted sweet potatoes, ensure your oven is fully preheated before the potatoes go in. High heat helps them caramelize quickly.
If you want a vegan roasted sweet potatoes option, skip the Parmesan cheese or substitute it with a vegan Parmesan alternative.
To achieve the best texture, avoid steaming the potatoes; make sure they are in a single layer on the baking sheet.
