  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Sweet Potatoes

  • 2 large sweet potatoes

Egg Wash

  • 3 large eggs, beaten

Seasoned Parmesan Coating

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 450° Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking crispy wedges.
  2. Prepare sweet potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly to soften the skin, then quarter them into wedges of your preferred thickness; thicker wedges yield softer interiors while thinner wedges get crispier.
  3. Prepare egg wash: In a medium bowl large enough to hold the wedges, beat the 3 large eggs and set aside for dipping.
  4. Mix Parmesan coating: In another medium bowl of similar size, combine grated Parmesan, salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper thoroughly.
  5. Coat the wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge first into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the Parmesan mixture. Shake off any excess coating to avoid clumping.
  6. Arrange for baking: Place the coated wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Ensure they are spaced out evenly for proper roasting.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the Parmesan coating is golden brown and crispy.
  8. Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

  • Choose sweet potatoes with smooth skin and minimal bumps to ensure even cooking and texture.
  • Scrub potatoes well before baking to soften the skin and remove any dirt.
  • Thicker wedges produce softer interiors; thinner wedges will be crispier, so choose based on your texture preference.
  • Using a zip-top bag to shake the wedges with seasoning helps to coat them evenly and reduces mess.
  • Always shake off excess seasoning before baking to prevent clumping and uneven cooking.
