Parmesan Roasted Sweet Potatoes
Description
This recipe for Parmesan Roasted Sweet Potatoes uses peeled sweet potatoes cut into half-inch cubes that are seasoned with minced garlic, olive oil, fresh or dried thyme, salt, pepper, and shredded Parmesan cheese. The potatoes are spread evenly on a parchment-lined sheet to promote roasting and even browning.
Roasting at 400°F for about 25-30 minutes, with stirring halfway, allows the cubes to develop crisp edges while maintaining a tender interior. A brief broiling at the end can deepen browning if desired. The Parmesan cheese melts slightly, coating the potato pieces with a flavorful crust. The herbaceous thyme complements the garlic and cheese, balancing the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
These roasted sweet potatoes are versatile as a side dish for a variety of meals. They can be served warm or, as noted, chilled and added to salads. The recipe notes suggest flexibility in preparation including leaving the skins on or altering the cut shape, as well as adding other vegetables or onions to the roasting pan for variation.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds sweet potato about 2 medium
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese shredded
- 2 prigs thyme or ¼ teaspoon dried thyme leaves, fresh
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into ½" cubes.
- Toss the potatoes with remaining ingredients and spread onto the parchment paper.
- Bake 25-30 minutes stirring after 15 minutes. Broil 1 minute if desired.
Notes
- Peeling the sweet potatoes is optional; leaving skins on is fine and saves prep time.
- Cutting into wedges or thick slices changes cooking time slightly and affects texture.
- Season and toss directly on the baking sheet to reduce cleanup.
- Other vegetables or onions can be added to the pan for roasting alongside the potatoes.
- Leftover roasted sweet potatoes are enjoyable cold in salads for added flavor.
