Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Wash and dry the sweet potatoes, then cut them into wedges or thick fry-shaped strips.
3. Add the sweet potatoes to a large bowl with olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
4. Toss well until all the fries are evenly coated with seasoning.
5. Arrange the fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are tender and caramelized on the edges.
7. Remove the pan from the oven and immediately sprinkle the hot fries with grated Parmesan cheese.
8. Finish with chopped parsley and red pepper flakes if desired, then serve warm.
Notes
Cut the fries as evenly as possible so they cook at the same rate.
Do not overcrowd the pan or the fries will steam instead of roast.
Serve right away for the best texture and strongest Parmesan flavor.
