Crispy and flavorful Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges are a perfect side dish or snack. These oven-baked wedges are tossed in a savory blend of olive oil, garlic, smoked paprika, and Parmesan cheese, then baked until golden and crisp. Garnished with fresh parsley and optional red pepper flakes for a hint of heat, they make an irresistible treat for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potato Wedges

  • 2 large sweet potatoes
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

Cheese & Garnish

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven 🔥 – Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes – Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch thick wedges ensuring even sizes for uniform cooking.
  3. Make Seasoning Mix – In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Stir the mixture well to blend all the flavors.
  4. Toss the Wedges – Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss them thoroughly in the garlic oil mixture until each wedge is evenly coated.
  5. Add Parmesan – Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the coated wedges and toss again gently to incorporate the cheese into the seasoning.
  6. Bake – Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the wedges are golden brown and crispy on the edges.
  7. Final Touch – Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges so it can melt slightly.
  8. Garnish & Serve 🌿 – Finish by sprinkling chopped fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce or enjoy them as a delicious side dish.

Notes

  • For crispier wedges, do not overcrowd the baking sheet; space wedges out evenly.
  • Substitute Parmesan cheese with Pecorino Romano or Asiago for a sharper flavor profile.
  • You can prepare wedges ahead of time and bake them fresh when ready to serve.
  • Use Yukon gold or russet potatoes as alternatives if sweet potatoes are unavailable.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in oven or air fryer.
  • Try serving with garlic aioli, spicy mayo, ranch, or ketchup for complementary dips.
