→ Main Ingredients
01 -
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into cubes
02 -
4 tablespoons olive oil
03 -
6 garlic cloves, minced
04 -
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
→ Seasonings
05 -
1 tablespoon dried oregano
06 -
1 tablespoon dried thyme
07 -
Salt and pepper to taste
08 -
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This high temperature will help create that beautiful caramelization on the sweet potatoes.
02 -
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, oregano, thyme, salt, and pepper. Toss everything together until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with oil and seasonings.
03 -
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (this prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier). Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer, making sure they're not overcrowded for even cooking.
04 -
Roast the sweet potatoes in your preheated oven for 25 minutes. They should start to soften and develop some color.
05 -
After the initial roasting period, remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the sweet potatoes.
06 -
Return the sweet potatoes to the oven for another 10-15 minutes, until they've turned golden brown with crispy edges and are fork-tender.
07 -
Transfer the roasted sweet potatoes to a serving dish and sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
# Notes:

These roasted sweet potatoes make an excellent side dish for holiday meals or weeknight dinners
