Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed (about 2 pounds) Ensure they are cut into uniform cubes for even roasting.
  • 4 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon of salt
  • ½ teaspoon of black pepper
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel and cube the sweet potatoes aiming for 1-inch pieces.
  3. In a large bowl, combine cubed sweet potatoes, minced garlic, olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Toss until evenly coated.
  4. Spread the sweet potato mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Cooking
  1. Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, until cheese is bubbling and golden.
  3. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

For substitutions, you can use feta or nutritional yeast as a cheese alternative. Make sure to provide ample space on the baking sheet for crispy potatoes. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes.
