Sweet Potato Wedges
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Coating Mixture
- 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° Fahrenheit to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking crispy wedges.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt, then quarter them into wedge shapes for even cooking.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium bowl large enough to dip the wedges, beat the 3 large eggs until smooth and set aside.
- Mix Seasoning: In another medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, salt, pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper to create the flavorful coating mixture.
- Coat Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge first into the beaten eggs and then into the Parmesan seasoning mixture, shaking off any excess to avoid clumping.
- Arrange and Bake: Place the coated wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet to promote even baking and easy cleanup. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the coating turns golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the wedges from the oven and serve immediately while hot and flavorful.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes with smooth skin and minimal bumps for even cooking and texture.
- Scrub your sweet potatoes well to soften the skin and remove dirt.
- Thicker wedges result in softer potatoes inside; thinner wedges yield crispier texture.
- Use a zip-top bag to toss and season the wedges easily without mess.
- Shake off excess coating before baking to prevent sogginess and ensure crispiness.
