Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 lbs sweet potatoes peeled and cut into uniform 1-inch cubes (900g)
  • 3 tbsp olive oil creates a glistening oil sheen (45ml)
  • 4 cloves garlic finely minced into small bits
  • 0.5 cup parmesan cheese finely grated (45g)
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley finely chopped (8g)
  • 1 tsp kosher salt (5g)
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper freshly cracked (1g)

Equipment

  • 1 Heavy-Duty Baking Sheet Light-colored aluminum preferred to prevent burning.
  • 1 Large Mixing Bowl Glass or metal for tossing ingredients evenly.
  • 1 Silicone spatula For flipping potatoes without tearing the crispy edges.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large, light-colored baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Place the cubed sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Drizzle with 3 tbsp (45ml) of olive oil, tossing until every cube has a glistening oil sheen.
  3. Sprinkle in 1 tsp (5g) kosher salt and 1/2 tsp (1g) black pepper. Toss well to combine.
Roasting
  1. Spread the seasoned cubes in a single, even layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they do not touch. Roast for 20 minutes until the bottoms develop caramelized charred edges.
  2. Remove the pan from the oven and carefully flip the cubes. Sprinkle the minced garlic bits evenly over the potatoes.
  3. Return to the oven for an additional 10 minutes, until the sweet potatoes are tender golden-orange and the garlic is fragrant.
Garnishing
  1. Remove from the oven. Immediately sprinkle the 1/2 cup (45g) of finely grated parmesan cheese over the hot potatoes so it melts slightly. Garnish with small flecks of fresh chopped green parsley.
  2. Transfer the coated cubes to a white ceramic serving bowl and serve immediately.

Notes

Give Them Space: Ensure potatoes do not touch on the pan or they will steam instead of roasting.
Wait on the Garlic: Adding garlic in the last 10 minutes prevents it from burning and turning bitter.
