Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the sweet potatoes: Peel and cube the sweet potatoes into evenly sized pieces to ensure even roasting.
- Toss with oil and garlic: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil and minced garlic. Toss well to evenly coat every piece.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over the sweet potatoes, mixing again to distribute the seasoning throughout.
- Roast: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for about 25-30 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender and lightly browned, stirring halfway through.
- Add Parmesan cheese: Remove the roasted sweet potatoes from the oven and immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan evenly over the top.
- Serve warm: Gently toss the Parmesan into the sweet potatoes if desired, then serve immediately while warm for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- You can add herbs like thyme or rosemary for added aroma and flavor.
- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best taste and melting quality.
- Adjust roasting time based on the size of sweet potato cubes; smaller pieces cook faster.
- To make this dish vegan, omit the Parmesan or substitute with a plant-based cheese alternative.
