Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Medallions
- 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into ½-inch thick rounds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Seasoning Mix
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Garnish (optional)
- Fresh parsley or chives, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Prepare Sweet Potatoes: In a large mixing bowl, toss the sweet potato medallions with olive oil until each piece is evenly and lightly coated to ensure proper roasting.
- Make the Seasoning Mix: In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried thyme, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly for even flavor distribution.
- Coat the Medallions: Sprinkle the seasoning mix over the sweet potatoes and gently toss them until all medallions are evenly coated with the cheese and herb mixture.
- Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned sweet potato medallions in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded to allow even roasting.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the medallions halfway through cooking. They should become tender and golden brown on the edges.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the sweet potatoes from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired, and serve warm for best flavor.
Notes
- Ensure sweet potato slices are uniform in thickness for even cooking.
- Use parchment paper or a non-stick baking mat to prevent sticking and easy cleaning.
- Flipping halfway through baking ensures even browning on both sides.
- Can be customized with other herbs like rosemary or basil.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture.
