Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized cubes
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika for a hint of warmth
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese check for halal compliance
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped optional
  • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves optional
Parmesan Herb Butter
  • 2 tablespoons butter melted

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into small, even cubes.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss well to ensure all pieces are evenly coated.
Baking
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer.
  2. Bake for about 15-20 minutes, tossing halfway through, until golden and crispy.
Finishing Touches
  1. Melt the butter in a small pan and mix in the grated Parmesan cheese, parsley, and thyme (if using).
  2. Once the sweet potatoes are done, drizzle the herb butter over them, tossing gently to coat.
  3. Return the sweet potato bites to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to help the Parmesan melt.
Serving
  1. Allow to cool for a moment, then serve hot.

Notes

For optimal crispness, ensure sweet potato pieces are cut uniformly. For a dairy-free option, substitute nutritional yeast for Parmesan. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
