Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed and cubed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a large bowl, toss the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried thyme, salt, and pepper until they are evenly coated.
- Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Do not overcrowd the pan; use two sheets if necessary for crispier results.
- Roast for 20 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and sprinkle the Parmesan cheese evenly over the sweet potatoes. Gently toss them to coat.
- Return the pan to the oven and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender inside and the cheese is golden and slightly crispy.
- Serve immediately as a healthy side dish or part of your meal prep for the week.
Notes
- For extra crispy sweet potato cubes, ensure the potatoes are in a single layer on the baking sheet.
- You can substitute fresh herbs like rosemary for dried thyme if you prefer a stronger herbal flavor.
- This recipe is naturally gluten free.
