Prepare Potatoes: Begin by washing the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Then, cut them lengthwise into 1/2 inch thick slices.
-
Slice into Sticks: Take the slices and cut them into 1/4 inch wide sticks, resembling the shape of traditional fries.
-
Coat with Oil: Place the sweet potato sticks in a large bowl. Drizzle olive oil over the sticks and toss them well until evenly coated.
-
Add Cheese: Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the oiled sweet potato sticks, ensuring they are well coated.
-
Arrange on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or coat it lightly with cooking spray. Arrange the sweet potato sticks in a single layer on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
-
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the sticks are lightly browned and crisp, stirring every 10 minutes for even cooking.
-
Serve: Once done, remove the sweet potato sticks from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Serve them hot as a tasty snack or a side dish alongside your favorite dipping sauce.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, sprinkle some additional seasonings such as garlic powder, paprika, or chili flakes before baking.
- To ensure crispiness, make sure the sweet potato sticks are evenly spaced on the baking sheet and not overcrowded.
- Experiment with different types of cheese for unique flavor variations.
- Serve these sticks with a side of creamy dipping sauce like garlic aioli, sriracha mayo, or tangy ketchup for a delightful flavor boost.
