Ingredients
  

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, combine the cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using). Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated.

      Add the Parmesan: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the sweet potatoes. Toss again until the cheese is distributed evenly and coats the cubes.

        Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Ensure they have some space between them to promote crispiness.

          Roasting: Roast in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potatoes are golden brown and crispy on the outside.

            Garnish: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving to add color and flavor.

              Serve: Enjoy your crispy Parmesan roasted sweet potatoes as a side dish, a topping for salads, or as a tasty snack!
