Ingredients for Baked Parmesan And Garlic Sweet Potato Fries

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic granules
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

How to Make Baked Parmesan And Garlic Sweet Potato Fries

  1. Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C).
  2. Wash and peel (optional) 2 large sweet potatoes. Cut them into even-sized wedges, rounds, or thin strips (about ½ inch thick).
  3. In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato fries with 2 tablespoons of olive oil (or substitute with water).
  4. Add 2 teaspoons of garlic granules, ½ cup of grated parmesan cheese, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt. Toss to coat evenly.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  6. Arrange the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10 minutes.
  8. Flip the fries carefully using a spatula.
  9. Bake for another 10 minutes.
  10. For thicker fries, bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until golden brown and tender. Check for doneness by inserting a fork; they should be easily pierced.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
