Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into wedges

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon olive oil

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and enhance crispiness.

    Prepare the Breading Station: In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until evenly blended.

      Beat the Eggs: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with olive oil until well combined.

        Coat the Sweet Potatoes: Dip each sweet potato wedge into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then dredge it in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.

          Bake the Wedges: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through, or until the sweet potatoes are tender inside and golden brown and crispy on the outside.

            Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve hot as a delicious side or snack.
