Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Egg Wash
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Coating Mix
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy sweet potato wedges.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then quarter them into wedges for even cooking.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and set aside. This will help the seasoning adhere to the wedges.
- Mix Coating: In a separate bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, coarse ground black pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create a flavorful coating mix.
- Coat Potatoes: Dip each sweet potato wedge first into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s well-coated, then immediately coat it in the Parmesan spice mixture. Place each coated wedge on a baking sheet, spacing them out for even cooking.
- Bake: Bake the coated wedges in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Serve: Remove the sweet potato wedges from the oven and serve them hot as a tasty side dish or snack.
Notes
- Use fresh Parmesan for best flavor and coating adherence.
- Adjust cayenne pepper amount to control the spice level.
- Spread wedges evenly on the baking sheet to ensure they crisp up well.
- These wedges are best served immediately for maximum crispiness.
- Can be paired with dipping sauces like ranch or spicy mayo.
