Ah, sweet potatoes! Is there anything more comforting than their warm, natural sweetness? I remember the first time I tried sweet potato wedges, it was at a cozy little restaurant tucked away in my neighborhood. They served them piping hot, golden brown, and seasoned to perfection. As soon as I had my first bite, I fell in love. The crispy edges, the soft interior, and those earthy, comforting flavors just made my taste buds dance. Since then, I’ve been on a mission to recreate that bliss at home.

Which brings us to today and my all-time favorite snack — Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges.

Whether you’re hosting a casual movie night, want a delightful side dish, or just need something to munch on while binge-watching your favorite show, these wedges are here for you.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Simple and quick to whip up, even on a weeknight.
• Budget-friendly ingredients that you likely have on hand.
• Comforting flavors that will make your heart sing.
• Healthy alternative to traditional fries.
• Versatile: great as a side dish, snack, or party appetizer.

Ingredients

Let’s gather our ingredients! Here’s what you’ll need to make these delightful Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges:

• 2 large sweet potatoes (about 1 ½ pounds)
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves of fresh garlic, minced (you’ll thank me for this!)
• ½ teaspoon paprika
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon sea salt
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best for flavor)
• Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)

Note: Fresh garlic adds more punch than powdered. If you’re a garlic lover, feel free to add an extra clove or two!

Step-by-Step Instructions

Alright, let’s roll up our sleeves and get cooking! Follow these easy steps, and you’ll be enjoying those crispy sweet potato wedges in no time:

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This step is crucial for that perfect crispy texture!
2. Wash and cut your sweet potatoes. Peeling is optional; I love the extra texture and nutrients in the skin! Slice them into wedges, aiming for about ¼ to ½ inch in thickness. Try to make them uniform for even cooking!
3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, minced garlic, paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. This aromatically spiced mix is the heart of our wedges!
4. Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl. Toss gently until each wedge is well coated in the flavorful mixture. Be careful not to overmix, as you don’t want to break the wedges.
5. Spread the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This helps with clean-up and ensures even baking!
6. Bake for 20 minutes, then take them out and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top. Pop them back in the oven for an additional 10-15 minutes until the edges are crispy and golden brown.
7. Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. This helps them crisp up even more!
8. Garnish with chopped parsley or chives before serving. The fresh herbs add a lovely pop of color and flavor!

Tip: Keep an eye on your wedges in the last few minutes of baking — ovens can vary, and you don’t want them to burn!

Pro Tips & Variations

If you want to take your Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges to the next level (though they’re pretty fantastic as is!), consider these fun twists:

• Add a kick: sprinkle some cayenne pepper or chili powder for a spicy twist! Perfect for those of us who love a little heat.
• Change the cheese: try feta or mozzarella for a different flavor profile. Both add their unique flair!
• Herb it up: add a sprinkle of Italian herbs like oregano or thyme before baking for extra flavor.
• Make it vegan: simply skip the Parmesan or use a plant-based cheese alternative and enjoy the same deliciousness!

Serving Suggestions

These Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges shine bright on their own, but why not get creative with how you serve them? Here are some of my favorite pairings:

• On the side of a juicy grilled burger or chicken breast.
• With a fresh green salad drizzled in balsamic vinaigrette for a nice contrast.
• Dipped in a tangy homemade yogurt sauce or some spicy ketchup (because who doesn’t love fries with ketchup?).
• As part of a cozy movie night platter alongside nuts, popcorn, and a light bubbly drink.

Whichever you choose, these wedges are the stars of the show!

Storage Tips

If you’re lucky enough to have leftovers (which I rarely do!), here’s how to bake on those sweet potato dreams:

• Refrigerate: Store the cooled wedges in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Just make sure they’re cooled completely before sealing!
• Freeze: You can also freeze the wedges! Lay them out on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a zip-top bag for up to 3 months. When craving a snack, just pop them in the oven straight from the freezer!
• Reheat: For best results, reheat the wedges in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-15 minutes until they’re crispy again. You can also use an air fryer for about 5-7 minutes!

Can you use other types of potatoes for this recipe?

Absolutely! While sweet potatoes are my favorite for their natural sweetness, you can use regular russet or Yukon gold potatoes. Just adjust the baking time as they might cook a little differently.

Do I have to peel the sweet potatoes?

Nope! Peeling is completely optional. The skin provides extra nutrients and texture, so I say keep it on for the best flavor!

How do I know when they’re done baking?

Your wedges should be golden brown and crispy on the edges! A fork or knife should easily pierce through the center. If they look delicious and smell amazing… they’re probably done!

Can I make these wedges in advance?

Sure! You can prepare the wedges and toss them in the oil and seasoning mix but don’t bake them until you’re ready to enjoy. Just keep them covered in the fridge for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion

I hope you feel inspired to make these scrumptious Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges in your own kitchen! They’re a cozy, comforting snack that never fails to impress. When you take that first crispy bite, you’ll understand why I’m so in love with them. If you try this recipe, let me know how it turned out!
