Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Herbed Parmesan Butter
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh rosemary, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then cut them into bite-sized cubes ensuring they are of equal size for even cooking.
- Toss with Oil and Seasoning: Place the sweet potato cubes on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with kosher salt and black pepper. Toss thoroughly so each piece is evenly coated.
- Roast Sweet Potatoes: Roast in the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through to promote even browning. Roast until the edges are golden and crisp while the insides remain tender.
- Make Herbed Parmesan Butter: While the sweet potatoes roast, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add minced garlic, fresh rosemary, and thyme. Cook for about 2 minutes until the mixture is fragrant.
- Add Parmesan: Remove the butter mixture from heat and stir in the grated parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce becomes smooth.
- Coat the Sweet Potatoes: Transfer the roasted sweet potato bites to a serving bowl. Pour the herbed parmesan butter over them and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly with the flavorful sauce.
- Serve: Serve immediately while the sweet potato bites are warm and maintain their crispiness for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- For extra crispy edges, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to allow proper air circulation around the sweet potato cubes.
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese melts better and imparts a richer flavor compared to pre-grated cheese.
- For a subtle spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the herbed butter mixture.
