Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

  4. Spread the seasoned sweet potatoes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  5. Roast on the middle rack for 15 minutes without stirring.
  6. Flip the sweet potatoes and roast for another 10 to 15 minutes until tender and browned on the edges.
  7. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan over the hot sweet potatoes and return to the oven for 3 to 5 minutes until melted and golden.
  8. Remove from the oven and if using, sprinkle with lemon zest and parsley. Adjust seasoning if needed.
  9. Serve hot as a side dish or part of a vegetarian spread.

Notes

Ensure even cutting of sweet potatoes for consistent roasting. Experiment with herbs and spices for flavor variations.
