Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.75 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Step 2
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1/2-inch thick wedges or sticks, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, paprika, ground cumin, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form a spice paste.
Step 4
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss until evenly coated with the spice mixture.
Step 5
Spread the sweet potatoes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for optimal crispiness.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, flipping the sweet potatoes halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Step 7
While the sweet potatoes are baking, prepare the topping. In a small bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
Step 8
After 20 minutes of baking, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top.
Step 9
Return the sweet potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and crunchy.
Step 10
Remove from the oven and let the sweet potatoes cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm and enjoy!
