These parmesan baked sweet potatoes are the best!

Ever have a hectic day and just want to enjoy a tasty treat with dinner? These parmesan baked sweet potatoes are sure to make any meal extra-special. The sweet potatoes are roasted in lots of butter with a hint of garlic and parmesan cheese that forms an out-of-this-world delicious parmesan crust on top. Your taste buds are going to love this recipe. 

Benefits of eating sweet potatoes

I love that this recipe can be both incredibly tasty and nutritious at the same time. Sweet potatoes contain iron, magnesium, and potassium, as well as vitamins B6, C, and D. Our bodies are usually low on Vitamin D during the wintertime when we may not get enough sunlight, so sweet potatoes are an excellent way to boost our Vitamin D intake. And, of course, they have the sweetest flavor that almost makes them taste like a dessert.

Parmesan Baked Sweet Potatoes

Here where I live, the supermarkets have been selling humongous organic sweet potatoes. They are over a pound each, sometimes a pound and a quarter or more. If the ones that you buy are that big too, make sure to cut them in quarters after you peel them. They cook better when they’re smaller.

Tip

For the parmesan cheese, I recommend buying an aged parmesan. Aged cheeses are supposed to have a lower lactose content than lesser aged varieties.

Ingredients

  • sweet potatoes
  • lots of butter
  • parmesan cheese
  • garlic powder, salt, and pepper
  • parsley for garnish

Instructions

*Free printable recipe card is available at the end of the post.

To make the sweet potatoes, preheat your oven to 400℉. Melt a quarter cup of butter in a 9 x 13 baking dish in the oven for about 3 minutes.

Then, sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese all around the butter along with garlic powder, a little salt, and pepper. Now put your potatoes cut side down on top of the seasoned butter and cheese mixture. Brush the sweet potatoes with some more of the melted butter, sprinkle with a little more salt, and pop in your oven.

While the potatoes are roasting, you can prepare the rest of your dinner. In forty-five minutes these mouthwatering beauties will be ready. And they smell so good while they’re roasting, filling the whole house with the most delectable aroma. This is when your kids will probably be wandering into the kitchen to see what’s cooking that smells so good. 😉

When the potatoes are done, let them rest for about 5 minutes, garnish them with fresh chopped parsley, and serve. You could eat them with a fork if you like, but then you wouldn’t get to lick your fingers.

John has dubbed these candy potatoes. I can’t wait for you to taste them.

Have a happy and healthy week, friends!

    I love sweet potatoes so much. We were watching a programme on television the other night about how good they are for you and you’ve said pretty much the same thing. I think we’ll have to eat a few more of them. This recipe looks delicious. I’m pinning this one to try out at a later date.

    Since I’ve never been a big fan of sweet potatoes…but I know they are healthy…I am always on the lookout for new recipes to try. This sounds like something I just might be able to tolerate. I know that doesn’t sound like a ringing endorsement, but trust me…it kinda is considering how much I don’t like sweet potatoes! If I can find a way to eat them that’s ok, then I will…otherwise, forget it. I’d be willing to try this one!
