Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 medium medium-sized sweet potatoes Choose firm, medium-sized sweet potatoes for even cooking.
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter Unsalted lets you control the salt.
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated Parmesan melts and browns better than pre-grated cheese.
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped Adds freshness.
  • 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, chopped Adds warmth; can substitute with other herbs.
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch cubes.
  3. In a bowl, melt the butter and mix in Parmesan, parsley, rosemary, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  4. Toss the sweet potato cubes in the butter mixture until coated.
  5. Spread the coated sweet potatoes on a baking sheet in a single layer.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and tender.

Notes

For optimal crispiness, do not overcrowd the baking sheet. Use two sheets if necessary. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days or frozen for 2-3 months. Reheat in the oven for best results.
