Sweet Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Coating
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 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 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the wedges until crispy and golden.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then cut each into quarters lengthwise to form wedges of even size for uniform cooking.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium bowl large enough to dip the wedges, beat the 3 large eggs and set aside for coating.
- Mix Seasoning: In another medium bowl, combine grated Parmesan, salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper, mixing well to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge first into the beaten eggs, then into the Parmesan and spice mixture, ensuring an even coating. Shake off any excess seasoning to avoid clumping.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the coating turns golden brown and the wedges are tender.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately while hot and crispy for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes with smooth skin and minimal bumps for even cooking and texture.
- Scrub potatoes well before baking; this softens the skin and cleans thoroughly.
- Cutting thicker wedges results in softer centers, while thinner wedges become crispier.
- Using a zip-top bag can help evenly coat the wedges with the seasoning mixture with less mess.
- Shake off excess coating before baking to prevent clumping and ensure even crispiness.
