Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Fresh parsley, roughly chopped for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced sweet potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything until the sweet potatoes are well-coated.
  3. Spread the sweet potato mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast the sweet potatoes for about 25 – 30 minutes, giving them a toss halfway through.
  2. In the last 5 minutes of roasting, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the potatoes. Return to the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Serving
  1. Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

For substitutions, nutritional yeast can be used in place of Parmesan for a dairy-free option. Watch the timing closely to avoid overcooking the sweet potatoes, and ensure uniform cuts for even cooking. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a preheated oven to maintain crispiness.
