Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, scrubbed (peeling optional)
3/4 cup finely grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Slice sweet potatoes into ½-inch rounds or wedges.
In a bowl, mix olive oil with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Toss sweet potatoes in the seasoned oil until well coated.
On the parchment-lined sheet, sprinkle small mounds of parmesan cheese spaced for each slice.

Bake for 25–30 minutes until cheese is golden and sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
Let cool 2 minutes before lifting gently with a spatula.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately.

Can be reheated in the oven or air fryer to regain crispiness.
Pairs well with garlic aioli or balsamic glaze.
