4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
# Directions:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

Wash and scrub sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut them into 1-inch thick wedges for even cooking and optimal crispiness.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Mix thoroughly.

In a large mixing bowl, toss sweet potato wedges with the garlic oil mixture until evenly coated.

Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the wedges and mix again to ensure even coverage.
06 -
Spread wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they're not overcrowded.
07 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning wedges halfway through cooking time. They should become golden brown and crisp on the outside.
08 -
Remove from oven and immediately sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese over the hot wedges, allowing it to melt slightly.
# Notes:
01 -
For maximum crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and ensure wedges are cut to a consistent thickness.
