Ingredients
Scale
Roasted Ingredients:
- 3 sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (30 milliliters)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (25 grams)
Seasoning Ingredients:
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a high temperature of 400F (200C), creating an ideal roasting environment for the sweet potatoes.
- Prepare the sweet potato cubes by thoroughly mixing them with minced garlic, rich olive oil, freshly grated Parmesan, and a generous sprinkle of salt and pepper until each piece is evenly seasoned.
- Arrange the seasoned sweet potato cubes on a spacious baking sheet, carefully spreading them out to prevent overcrowding and ensure maximum crispy edges during roasting.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for approximately 25-30 minutes, turning the potatoes midway through the cooking process to promote uniform caramelization and tenderness.
- Once the sweet potatoes develop a golden-brown exterior and a soft, creamy interior, remove from the oven and serve immediately while piping hot, allowing the Parmesan to maintain its delicate melted texture.
Notes
- Slice sweet potatoes uniformly to guarantee consistent roasting and prevent some pieces from burning while others remain undercooked.
- Opt for fresh garlic cloves instead of pre-minced for a more robust, aromatic flavor that elevates the entire dish.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier, ensuring crispy edges without residue.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute Parmesan with nutritional yeast or toasted nuts to maintain a similar savory, umami profile.
