Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Bites
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Parmesan Herb Butter
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until all pieces are evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Bake Sweet Potatoes: Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through baking to promote even crispiness and golden color.
- Make Parmesan Herb Butter: While the sweet potatoes bake, mix the melted unsalted butter with grated Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh parsley, and chopped fresh thyme in a small bowl until well combined.
- Toss and Serve: Once the sweet potatoes are crispy and golden brown, transfer them to a large bowl and toss thoroughly with the Parmesan herb butter to coat each piece evenly. Serve hot as a delicious side dish or appetizer.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking sheet and use convection bake if your oven has this feature.
- Add a pinch of chili flakes to the seasoning mix if you prefer a bit of heat.
- Make sure to flip the sweet potatoes halfway through baking for even browning.
