Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 3 cloves of garlic
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat and Prep: Start by preheating your oven to a toasty 400°F (200°C). While it gets cozy, wash your sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. I recommend leaving the skins on—they add flavor and nutrients!
- Slice Away: Time to get slicing! Cut those sweet potatoes into 1/2-inch thick rounds, and lay them out on a baking sheet like a cozy little potato family.
- Season the Love: Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato slices and season with salt and pepper. Give them a gentle toss to ensure every piece gets a happy coating.
- Roast It Up: Roast those beauties in your preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until they’re tender and just the right amount of crispy. (Don’t worry—while they roast, you can take a breather or catch up on your favorite show!)
- Garlic Glow: As your sweet potatoes are roasting, peel and slice the garlic cloves thinly. You can toss them in during the last 5-10 minutes of roasting for a fragrant garlic kick.
- Cheesy Goodness: Once the potatoes are nice and golden, take them out and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese all over. Pop them back in the oven for a couple of minutes, just long enough for the cheese to melt and get all bubbly.
- Garnish and Serve: Serve these delectable potatoes hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Voila! You’ve just transformed a simple ingredient into an inviting and scrumptious dish.
Notes
- If you like a bit of spice, sprinkle some cayenne pepper or paprika on your sweet potatoes before roasting for an extra kick!
- Don’t fret if your garlic starts to brown—this simply means it’s adding that delicious roasted flavor we all love.
- Feeling adventurous? Mix in some other cheeses, like feta or cheddar, to switch things up!
