Ingredients
  

2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into thin fries

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

½ teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper (for a spicy kick)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This high temperature helps to achieve that crispy texture.

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the cut sweet potatoes with olive oil until they are evenly coated.

      Seasoning: In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper if using. Sprinkle this seasoning mixture over the sweet potatoes and toss to ensure every fry is coated well.

        Add Parmesan: Once seasoned, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the fries. Toss gently to ensure the cheese adheres to the sweet potatoes.

          Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the sweet potato fries in a single layer on the sheet to ensure they crisp up nicely. Avoid overcrowding the pan.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the fries are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them towards the end to prevent burning.

              Serve: Once done, remove them from the oven. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Parmesan Garlic Sweet Potato Fries warm as a snack or a side dish!
