This dish needs a few simple yet tasty ingredients. Here’s what you will need: - 2 large sweet potatoes, sliced into 1/4 inch rounds - 4 cloves of garlic, minced - 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese - 3 tablespoons olive oil - 1 teaspoon salt - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper - 1 teaspoon smoked paprika - Fresh parsley, finely chopped for garnish (optional) Sweet potatoes are the star here. They bring a natural sweetness and creamy texture. Garlic adds a strong flavor that really shines. Parmesan cheese gives a salty kick that makes this dish special. Olive oil helps everything roast perfectly. The seasonings enhance the overall taste and aroma. When I cook these, I love to use fresh ingredients. Fresh garlic and herbs can make a big difference. Choose sweet potatoes that feel firm. They should have smooth skin and bright color. Quality ingredients lead to better meals. To start, slice the sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch rounds. Use a sharp knife to keep them even. This helps them cook better and look good on the plate. Next, grab a large mixing bowl. In this bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Whisk these ingredients until they blend well. This mixture adds great flavor to the sweet potatoes. Now, add the sweet potato rounds to the bowl. Toss them in the garlic oil mix. Make sure each round gets coated evenly. This step is key for tasty bites. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the sweet potato rounds in a single layer on the baking sheet. Roast them in the oven for 20 minutes. This initial time helps soften the potatoes. After 20 minutes, take the baking sheet out of the oven. Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the sweet potato rounds. The cheese adds a rich flavor. Put the baking sheet back in the oven. Roast for another 10 minutes. The sweet potatoes should be tender, and the cheese should be golden and melted. Once out of the oven, let the sweet potato rounds cool for a couple of minutes. This helps avoid burns and keeps the flavors fresh. For a pop of color, garnish with finely chopped parsley if you like. It adds a nice touch and makes the dish look great. Serve these rounds warm for the best taste! To get even cooking, always slice sweet potatoes into 1/4 inch rounds. This size helps them roast nicely and cook at the same rate. Spread them in a single layer on the baking sheet. If they overlap, some will cook slower. For crispiness, use enough olive oil to coat each round. This oil helps them brown well. After the first 20 minutes, add Parmesan cheese. The cheese adds flavor and helps create a crispy top. You can swap Parmesan cheese for other options. Try mozzarella for a gooey melt. Nutritional yeast works for a vegan touch. If you want different spices, consider garlic powder or onion powder. You can also add cayenne for heat. Mix and match to find your favorite flavor. {{image_2}} Adding herbs can boost the flavor of your sweet potato rounds. Fresh thyme or rosemary works well. Just sprinkle a few leaves on top before roasting. This adds a nice touch and fresh taste. For a spicy kick, try adding chili flakes or paprika. A sprinkle of cayenne pepper can also work. This gives your sweet potatoes a warm, zesty flavor. Adjust the amount to match your spice level. You can make these sweet potato rounds in an air fryer. Set it to 400°F (200°C) and cook for about 15 minutes. Shake the basket halfway for even cooking. The air fryer will make them crispy and delicious. Grilling is another great option. Preheat your grill to medium heat. Place the sweet potato rounds on a grill pan. Cook for about 10 minutes on each side. This adds a smoky flavor that pairs well with garlic and cheese. After you enjoy your roasted garlic Parmesan sweet potato rounds, store any leftovers properly. - Refrigeration tips: Place the rounds in an airtight container. They stay fresh in the fridge for up to three days. Keep them away from moisture to avoid sogginess. - Freezing options: For longer storage, freeze the rounds. Use a freezer-safe container or bag. They can last up to three months in the freezer. Make sure to label the container with the date. When you're ready to enjoy your leftovers, reheating is key. - Best reheating methods: The oven is the best choice. Preheat it to 375°F (190°C). Place the sweet potato rounds on a baking sheet. Heat them for about 10 minutes, or until warm. This method keeps them crispy. You can also use an air fryer for a quick heat-up. Set it to 350°F (175°C) and cook for 5 minutes. This method gives them a nice crunch again. To check if sweet potatoes are done, poke them with a fork. If it goes in easily, they are ready. You want them soft but not mushy. The edges should be slightly crispy. This balance gives you the best texture. Yes, you can use other cheeses. Cheddar, feta, or mozzarella can work well. Each cheese gives a unique flavor. If you want a strong taste, try aged cheddar. For a fresh touch, feta is great. To get crispy sweet potato rounds, focus on a few key steps. First, slice the potatoes evenly. This helps them cook at the same rate. Use enough olive oil to coat each round. Spread them out on the tray. If they touch, they won't crisp up. Lastly, roast them at a high temperature. This gives you that nice crunch. Sweet potatoes roasted with garlic and Parmesan can be a tasty treat. We explored ingredients, prep tips, and steps for perfect roasting.
