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 is hot enough to bake the wedges to a crispy finish.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut each into quarters to create evenly sized wedges.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl large enough to dip the wedges in, beat the 3 eggs and set aside.
- Mix Seasonings: In another medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
- Coat Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly in the Parmesan and seasoning mixture. Shake off any excess coating.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated sweet potato wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet to ensure even cooking.
- Bake: Bake the wedges in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from oven and serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes with smooth skin and minimal bumps or curves for more even cooking.
- Scrub the potatoes well before cutting to soften the skin and ensure cleanliness.
- Thicker wedges will produce softer sweet potato interiors; thinner wedges will be crispier.
- Using a zip-top bag to coat the wedges can help evenly distribute the seasoning and minimize mess.
- Shake off excess coating before baking to prevent sogginess and promote crispiness.
