Ingredients
Scale
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
3 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon fine sea salt (or to taste)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme or Italian seasoning
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, loosely packed
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or chives) for garnish
Zest of 1/2 lemon (optional)
Nonstick cooking spray or extra oil for the baking sheet
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it lightly.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes.
Drizzle the sweet potatoes with olive oil, and add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Toss until evenly coated.
Spread the sweet potato cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 15 minutes without stirring.
Flip the sweet potatoes and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until tender and browned.
Add grated Parmesan over the hot sweet potatoes and roast for an additional 3-5 minutes until melted and golden.
Remove from the oven, and optionally sprinkle with lemon zest and parsley.
Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For best results, ensure sweet potato cubes are uniform in size for even cooking.
