Ingredients

(Here’s a tip: Check out the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
Salt, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

Preheat the Oven
I preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
I peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into wedges, making sure they’re all about the same size for even cooking.
Season the Wedges
In a large bowl, I toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. I make sure each wedge is evenly coated.
Roast the Wedges
I spread the seasoned wedges in a single layer on the baking sheet. I roast them in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Garnish and Serve
Once they’re done, I take the wedges out of the oven and sprinkle them with fresh parsley. I serve them hot, either as a side dish or a tasty snack.

Variations

Add spice: I sprinkle a bit of chili powder or cayenne pepper on the wedges for a spicy kick.
Swap the cheese: I sometimes use a mix of Parmesan and sharp cheddar for extra cheesy goodness.
Try different herbs: Fresh rosemary, thyme, or basil adds a fragrant touch.
Make it vegan: I swap the Parmesan for nutritional yeast to keep it plant-based.
Serve with dipping sauces: I pair these wedges with ranch dressing, sriracha mayo, or a tangy balsamic glaze.

Storage/Reheating

Refrigerate
I store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, I pop them back in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes to restore their crispiness.
Freeze
To freeze, I arrange the cooled wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until firm. Then I transfer them to a freezer-safe bag for up to 1 month. To reheat, I bake them directly from frozen at 400°F (200°C) for 15–20 minutes.

FAQs

Can I use other potatoes?

Yes, regular russet potatoes work well too, but I love the sweetness of sweet potatoes for this recipe.

How can I make them extra crispy?

For an extra crispy texture, I make sure the wedges are spread out evenly on the baking sheet and flip them halfway through cooking.

Can I make these in an air fryer?

Yes! I preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and cook the sweet potato wedges in a single layer for 15–20 minutes, shaking halfway through.

Can I make these ahead of time?

While best fresh, I sometimes prep the wedges and toss them in the seasoning the night before, then roast them the next day.

Conclusion

Garlic Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges are the perfect side dish to any meal, or just a tasty snack on their own. With a blend of garlic, Parmesan, and earthy sweet potatoes, they’re crispy, savory, and so satisfying. I love how easy they are to make and how versatile they are for different flavors and occasions. Whether I’m serving them with a roast or enjoying them with a creamy dip, they’re always a hit!
