Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Bites
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Parmesan Herb Butter
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried thyme
- 1 tsp dried rosemary
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s hot enough for baking the sweet potato cubes to a crispy finish.
- Toss Sweet Potatoes: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and black pepper to evenly coat them with seasoning and oil.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated sweet potatoes evenly on a baking sheet in a single layer to promote even cooking and crisping.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the cubes halfway through to achieve a uniform crispy texture on all sides.
- Prepare Herb Butter: While the sweet potatoes bake, mix together the melted butter, grated parmesan, dried thyme, and dried rosemary in a bowl to create the flavorful herb butter.
- Toss with Herb Butter: Once the sweet potatoes are crisp and tender, transfer them back to the bowl and toss with the parmesan herb butter mixture to coat thoroughly.
- Serve Warm: Serve the sweet potato bites warm for the best flavor and texture experience.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can place the baking sheet under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Feel free to substitute fresh herbs if available, using about 1 tablespoon each of fresh thyme and rosemary.
- These bites make a great side dish or a healthy snack alternative.
- Adjust salt according to your taste or dietary needs.
- Use gluten-free parmesan cheese for a gluten-free option.
