Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Egg Wash
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Parmesan Coating
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready to crisp up the sweet potato wedges perfectly.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and quarter the sweet potatoes into evenly sized wedges to guarantee even cooking and a satisfying bite size.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium bowl, beat the 3 large eggs until smooth. This will act as the adhesive for the Parmesan coating to stick to the wedges.
- Mix Parmesan Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. This flavorful mix will give the wedges a crispy, cheesy crust with a hint of spice.
- Coat Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated, then immediately dredge it in the Parmesan herb mixture. Place the coated wedges onto a baking sheet in a single layer to avoid overcrowding.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the wedges for 20 minutes or until they become golden brown and crispy on the outside while tender inside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately. These wedges pair wonderfully with your favorite dipping sauces or as a side to any main dish.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, flip the wedges halfway through baking.
- Use a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to your preferred level of spiciness.
- These wedges can be made gluten-free by ensuring the Parmesan and seasonings are gluten-free certified.
- For a vegetarian option, this recipe is suitable as is.
