Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Egg Wash
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Parmesan Seasoning Mixture
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp coarse ground pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450° Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the sweet potato wedges nicely.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters to create evenly sized wedges for consistent cooking.
- Make Egg Wash: In a medium bowl large enough to dip wedges, beat the 3 large eggs until well combined and set aside for dipping.
- Mix Seasoning: In another medium bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan, salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper to form the flavorful coating.
- Coat Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge into the beaten eggs, then into the Parmesan seasoning mixture, shaking off any excess to avoid clumping.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Lay the coated wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet to ensure even baking and easy cleanup.
- Bake: Bake the potato wedges in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the Parmesan coating turns golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm as a delicious side dish or snack.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can flip the wedges halfway through baking.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to your desired spice level or omit for a milder flavor.
- Use fresh Parmesan for the best flavor and texture.
- These wedges make a great side for grilled or roasted meats and vegetarian meals.
