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 heat)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into wedges, about 1 inch thick. This will help them cook evenly and get crispy.

      Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Mix well to create a flavorful oil blend.

        Toss the Wedges: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with the garlic oil mixture until they are evenly coated.

          Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and mix again to ensure even coverage.

            Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure not to overcrowd them for optimal crispiness.

              Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, turning the wedges halfway through for even cooking. They should be golden brown and crisp on the outside.

                Final Touch: Remove from the oven, and while the wedges are still hot, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top and allow it to melt slightly.

                  Garnish and Serve: Transfer the wedges to a serving platter and sprinkle fresh parsley over the top for a pop of color. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as they are!
