Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

Seasoning Mix

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Oils and Fats

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (optional, for extra richness)

Garnish

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Thoroughly wash the sweet potatoes to remove dirt. Peel them completely using a vegetable peeler, ensuring no skin remains. Cut into 1-inch cubes by first slicing into thick slices and then cutting those slices into cubes, keeping them uniform in size.
  2. Mix Ingredients: Place the cubed sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Add minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, olive oil, and melted butter if using. Toss everything well so that the sweet potatoes are evenly coated with the seasoning and oil.
  3. Preheat Oven and Roast: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Spread the coated sweet potato cubes evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
  4. Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning once halfway through to ensure even cooking and browning until the sweet potatoes are tender and golden brown on the edges.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and transfer to a serving dish. Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the top if desired for a fresh, colorful finish. Serve warm as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • Use uniform 1-inch cubes to ensure even cooking.
  • For a crispier texture, spread sweet potatoes in a single layer without overcrowding the baking sheet.
  • Optional melted butter adds richness but can be omitted for a lighter dish.
  • Fresh parsley adds a pop of color and freshness but can be replaced with other herbs like thyme or rosemary.
  • Adjust salt according to taste or dietary needs.
