Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Wedges
- 2 large sweet potatoes
Batter
- 3 large eggs, beaten
Seasoning Mix
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 tsp coarse ground pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to crisp up the sweet potato wedges beautifully.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and cut each into quarters to create evenly sized wedges for consistent cooking.
- Beat Eggs: In a medium-sized bowl, beat the three large eggs until smooth, making sure it’s large enough to dip the wedges in easily.
- Mix Seasonings: In another medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, salt, coarse ground pepper, garlic powder, dried parsley, dried oregano, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat Wedges: Dip each sweet potato wedge into the beaten eggs to coat fully, then immediately dip into the Parmesan and seasoning mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Shake off any excess.
- Arrange & Bake: Place the coated wedges in a single layer on a foil-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking and ensure even baking. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the coating turns golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve the wedges hot for a deliciously crispy and savory treat.

- Use fresh grated Parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust cayenne pepper to control the spiciness according to preference.
- Make sure to arrange wedges in a single layer to ensure even crisping.
