Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into thick wedges (about ½-inch).
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil and minced garlic. Stir until evenly distributed.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss to coat in the garlic-infused oil.
Sprinkle smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper over the sweet potatoes. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the sweet potatoes and toss again.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not overcrowded.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through.
During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the wedges.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired before serving.

Notes

Do not overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure the wedges get crispy.
For a spicier version, add red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper along with the seasoning.
You can prep the sweet potatoes ahead of time, store them in the fridge, and bake them when ready.
If you don’t have parchment paper, you can grease the baking sheet lightly.
