Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Egg Wash
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Parmesan Coating
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon coarse ground black 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° Fahrenheit (232° Celsius) to ensure it’s hot enough for crispy wedges.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then quarter each one lengthwise to create thick wedges.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl large enough to dip the wedges, beat the 3 eggs until smooth and set it aside.
- Mix Parmesan Coating: In another medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Stir well to mix all the dried ingredients evenly.
- Coat Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge first into the beaten eggs, then coat it thoroughly with the Parmesan and spice mixture. Shake off any excess coating to avoid clumps.
- 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 about 20 minutes, or until the coating turns golden brown and the wedges are cooked through and tender.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve warm as a delicious, flavorful side or snack.
Notes
- You can adjust the cayenne pepper quantity to control the level of heat according to your preference.
- For extra crispiness, flip the wedges halfway through baking.
- Using fresh Parmesan cheese will enhance the flavor and help the coating crisp up better.
- These wedges are best served immediately to maintain their crispiness.
- Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to regain crispiness instead of microwaving.
