Description
These Parmesan Herb Sweet Potato Medallions are crisp, savory, and layered with flavor from roasted sweet potatoes, parmesan, and herbs. Perfect as an appetizer, a side, or a healthy snack, they deliver golden edges and a creamy center with every bite.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil
½ cup grated parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (or a mix of thyme, oregano, basil)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ cup finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Salt to taste
Instructions
1. Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes, leaving the skin on. Slice into ¼-inch thick medallions using a sharp knife or mandoline.
2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Arrange sweet potato slices on the tray. Brush both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with garlic powder and salt.
4. Roast for 20 minutes. Flip and roast another 10–15 minutes until edges are crisp.
5. Sprinkle each medallion with parmesan and dried herbs. Return to oven for 5 minutes until cheese melts and turns golden.
6. Remove from oven and top with chopped red onion and parsley before serving.
Notes
Slice sweet potatoes evenly for consistent roasting and crispness.
For extra crispy results, use a convection setting or air fryer.
Garnish with fresh herbs only after baking to preserve vibrant color and flavor.
