Potatoes
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Egg Wash
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Seasoning Mixture
- 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 the Oven: Preheat your oven to 450° Fahrenheit to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp up the sweet potato wedges nicely.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut them into quarters lengthwise to create wedges.
- Beat the Eggs: In a medium bowl, beat the three eggs until smooth; this will be used to help the seasoning mixture stick to the wedges.
- Mix Seasonings: In another medium bowl, combine grated Parmesan, salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper thoroughly.
- Coat the Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge first into the beaten eggs, then into the Parmesan and seasoning mixture, making sure each wedge is evenly coated. Shake off any excess coating to avoid clumping.
- Arrange for Baking: Place the coated wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet, ensuring they aren’t touching to promote even cooking and crispiness.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes or until the coating turns a beautiful golden brown and the wedges are tender inside.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve immediately as a tasty side dish or snack.
Notes
- Choose sweet potatoes with smooth skin and as few bumps or curves as possible for even cooking.
- Scrub potatoes well before cooking to soften the skin and clean thoroughly.
- Thicker wedges result in softer centers, while thinner wedges become crispier.
- Using a zip-top bag to coat the wedges helps distribute the seasoning evenly and minimizes mess.
- Shake off excess seasoning before baking to prevent burning and clumping on the baking sheet.
