2. Ingredients Needed for Perfect Baked Sweet Potato Wedges

• 3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon paprika (optional for extra flavor)
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme or rosemary (optional)
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

3. Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Crispy Sweet Potato Snacks

Step 1: Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

Start by peeling the sweet potatoes and slicing them into evenly sized wedges. This ensures they cook uniformly and become crispy on all sides.

Step 2: Season the Wedges

In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, paprika, dried herbs, salt, and pepper. Toss the sweet potato wedges in this mixture until they are well coated. The garlic Parmesan seasoning will give your crisp sweet potato snacks a rich, savory flavor.

Step 3: Bake the Wedges

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the seasoned wedges on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, ensuring they do not overlap. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden and crispy.

Step 4: Garnish and Serve

Remove the wedges from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. For extra flavor, drizzle with a little more Parmesan or your favorite dipping sauce.

4. Storage Tips for Leftover Sweet Potato Wedges

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes or until crispy again. Avoid storing them in the microwave, as this can make the texture soggy.

5. Serving Suggestions

These baked sweet potato wedges are incredibly versatile. Serve them as a delicious main dish alongside grilled meats or as a healthy snack with your favorite dip like ranch, garlic aioli, or spicy ketchup. They also pair wonderfully with salads and grain bowls for a complete meal.
