Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes washed and cut into wedges
- 3 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 4 cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then cut them into quarters to create wedges. Be sure to make the wedges uniform in size for even cooking.
- In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and set aside. This step helps the Parmesan mixture adhere to the wedges.
- In another medium bowl, mix together the Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. This blend of spices adds depth to the flavor.
- Dip each sweet potato wedge into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat with the Parmesan mixture. Ensure each wedge is well-covered for maximum flavor.
- Place the coated sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil. This makes cleanup easier and helps prevent sticking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the coating turns golden brown. For extra crispiness, flip the wedges halfway through baking. This ensures even browning.
- Once done, remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy your crispy baked sweet potato wedges with your favorite dipping sauce!
