Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Garlic Parmesan Sauce
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for roasting the sweet potato wedges to a crispy finish.
- Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cut sweet potato wedges with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated with the spices and oil.
- Roast the Wedges: Spread the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet. Roast them in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are tender inside and crispy on the outside.
- Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce: While the wedges are roasting, combine the softened butter, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Mix well until fully combined and set aside for serving.
- Serve: Once the sweet potato wedges are roasted, serve them hot alongside the garlic parmesan dipping sauce.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your preferred spice level.
- For extra crispiness, you can broil the wedges for 1-2 minutes at the end of roasting — watch closely to prevent burning.
- Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor in the sauce.
- These wedges pair wonderfully with grilled meats or can be enjoyed as a vegetarian snack.
- You can substitute fresh parsley with chopped chives or basil for a different herb twist.
