Roasted Sweet Potato Cubes
Description
This recipe uses a combination of melted butter and olive oil to all coat the sweet potato cubes evenly, allowing the Parmesan and garlic mixture to adhere and create a flavorful crust during roasting. The garlic and Italian seasoning impart a bright, savory note that complements the natural sweetness of the potatoes.
The baking time of about 18-22 minutes produces cubes that are mostly soft inside with some crispness on the outside, achieved by spreading them in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Sprinkling dried parsley after baking enhances appearance and adds a mild herbal touch.
The dish serves well as a warm side accompaniment to a variety of meals, offering a balance of creamy interior texture with a savory, cheesy exterior. It's a straightforward way to elevate sweet potatoes beyond simple roasting.
Tips from the notes mention flipping the cubes halfway through baking and using the broiler for the last minute or two to achieve extra crispiness, while maintaining tender insides.
