Sweet, savory, and packed with flavor—these oven-roasted wedges are crispy on the outside, tender inside, and dangerously addictive. Perfect as a side, snack, or appetizer.

🛒 Ingredients (Serves 3–4)

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cut into wedges
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tsp garlic powder)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp paprika
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • Optional garnish: chopped fresh parsley 🌿

👩‍🍳 Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F / 220°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prep wedges: Cut sweet potatoes into evenly sized wedges for even cooking.
  3. Season: In a bowl, toss wedges with olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  4. Arrange: Spread wedges in a single layer, skin-side down if possible (don’t overcrowd).
  5. Bake: Roast for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy.
  6. Finish: Sprinkle with extra Parmesan and parsley. Serve hot.

🌟 Pro Tips

  • For extra crispiness, soak wedges in cold water 20 minutes, then dry well before seasoning.
  • Add Parmesan in the last 5 minutes if you prefer a lighter crust.
  • Want heat? Add chili flakes or cayenne.
  • Air fryer option: 380°F / 190°C for 14–16 minutes, shaking halfway.
