Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 3 medium firm sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (natural)
- 3 cloves fresh garlic, minced or 1 teaspoon garlic powder (natural)
- ¼ cup plant-based Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
Optional Smoky Crunch
- 4 slices smoked turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
Garnish
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (natural)
Instructions
- Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Cut each sweet potato into even wedges to ensure uniform cooking and a perfect crispy texture.
- Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges with olive oil (natural), minced garlic or garlic powder (natural), salt, black pepper, and plant-based Parmesan cheese. Toss well until every wedge is evenly coated with the seasoning.
- Bake to Perfection: Arrange the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 425°F (220°C) for 25-30 minutes, turning halfway through to brown the wedges evenly on all sides.
- Add Smoky Crunch (Optional): If using smoked turkey bacon, crisp the slices separately. Sprinkle the cooked smoked turkey bacon pieces over the baked wedges just before serving to add a smoky, crunchy finish.
- Garnish and Serve: After baking to a golden crisp, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley (natural) on top for a vibrant presentation. Serve the wedges warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- Cut wedges evenly for uniform cooking and consistent crispiness.
- Preheat the oven to achieve a crispy outer crust quickly.
- Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming and ensure proper roasting.
- Use quality plant-based Parmesan cheese for superior flavor and texture.
- Flip wedges halfway during baking for even browning and crisp edges.
