Scale
Vegetables
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Coating Mixture
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground 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 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy wedges.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then cut each into quarters to create wedges.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the eggs until smooth and set aside for dipping.
- Mix Seasoning: In another medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper to make the flavorful coating mixture.
- Coat Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge first into the beaten eggs then dredge it in the Parmesan seasoning mixture, shaking off any excess to avoid clumping.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet to ensure even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Bake: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the potatoes are tender inside.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately for the best crispy texture.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes with smooth skin and minimal bumps or curves for even cooking.
- Scrub potatoes well to soften their skin and remove dirt.
- Cut thicker wedges if you prefer softer interiors; thinner wedges will be crispier.
- Use a zip-top bag to shake and coat the potato wedges evenly with the seasoning mixture.
- Shake off excess coating before baking to prevent sogginess.
