Can I make Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the wedges in advance. After seasoning and arranging them on a baking sheet, you can cover them and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. When you're ready to cook, just preheat the oven and bake as directed. This makes it an easy make-ahead snack or side dish for busy days.

Can I use regular potatoes instead of sweet potatoes?

While the recipe is designed for sweet potatoes, you can use regular russet potatoes if you prefer. Keep in mind that regular potatoes may have a different texture and flavor, but they’ll still taste delicious with the garlic and Parmesan seasoning.

How can I make the recipe spicier?

If you like some heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or extra red pepper flakes to the seasoning mixture. You can also pair the wedges with a spicy dipping sauce, like sriracha mayo, for an added kick.

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into wedges about 1 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
Place the sweet potato wedges into the bowl and toss until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and toss again to coat evenly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then arrange the wedges in a single layer on the sheet.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through the cooking time.
Once baked, sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the wedges while they are still hot.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Ensure the sweet potato wedges are cut evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to allow the wedges to crisp up properly.
If you prefer a spicier kick, you can add more red pepper flakes or a pinch of cayenne pepper.
For a dairy-free version, use nutritional yeast or a dairy-free cheese alternative instead of Parmesan.
