Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl.
- Add the olive oil and minced garlic to the bowl. Toss until the potatoes are evenly coated.
- In a small bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture over the oiled sweet potatoes. Toss again until the cheese mixture adheres to the potatoes.
- Spread the coated sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan.
- Roast for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping the potatoes halfway through cooking, until they are tender and the edges are slightly browned and crisp.
- Serve immediately as a side dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, use an air fryer set to 380 degrees Fahrenheit for 15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, use 1 teaspoon of garlic powder instead of fresh minced garlic.
- Do not skip tossing the potatoes halfway through; this helps them roast evenly.
