Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped for garnish (optional)
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato medallions with olive oil, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
3. In a small bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
4. Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the sweet potatoes and gently toss until they are evenly coated with the cheese and herbs.
5. Place the seasoned medallions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to ensure even roasting.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through. The medallions should be tender and golden brown on the edges.
7. Once baked, remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil the medallions for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
Try adding a sprinkle of crushed red pepper for a spicy kick.
This recipe pairs well with roasted meats or a fresh green salad.
