Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Egg Wash
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Seasoning Mix
- 1 cup grated Parmesan
- 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° Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp the sweet potato wedges nicely.
- Prepare Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then cut each into quarters to create wedges.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium bowl, beat 3 large eggs until smooth and set aside for dipping.
- Mix Seasonings: In another medium bowl, combine grated Parmesan, salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
- Coat Potatoes: Dip each sweet potato wedge into the beaten eggs, then fully coat with the Parmesan and spice mixture. Shake off any excess seasoning.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes with smooth skin and minimal bumps to ensure even cooking and texture.
- Scrub your potatoes well before cutting; this softens the skin and cleans any dirt.
- Thicker wedges result in softer interior, while thinner wedges become crispier.
- Using a zip-top bag to toss and coat the wedges evenly with seasoning can make the process easier.
- Be sure to shake off excess seasoning mixture before baking to prevent burning or uneven cooking.
