Ingredients

Scale

Sweet Potatoes

  • 3 medium firm sweet potatoes

Marinade

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Toppings & Garnishes

  • 1/3 cup plant-based Parmesan
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Optional

  • 2 slices smoked turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled

Instructions

  1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes: Wash and dry the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Slice each sweet potato into evenly sized wedges, leaving the skin on to add extra fiber and texture.
  2. Marinate the Wedges: In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, minced garlic, vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (natural), salt, and black pepper. Toss well to coat every piece evenly. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
  3. Bake Until Crispy: Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Arrange the wedges spaced apart on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to avoid steaming. Bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  4. Add Parmesan and Herbs: Sprinkle the plant-based Parmesan generously over the nearly baked wedges. Return them to the oven for an additional 5 minutes to allow the cheese to melt and form a flavorful crust. Once out of the oven, garnish with fresh chopped parsley for a vibrant finish.
  5. Optional Smoked Turkey Bacon Crunch: If using, cook the smoked turkey bacon until crispy, crumble over the finished wedges just before serving to add a smoky and savory crunch.

Notes

  • Cut wedges evenly for consistent cooking and texture.
  • Bake at high heat to achieve the perfect crispy exterior.
  • Avoid overcrowding the baking sheet to prevent steaming.
  • Use fresh minced garlic for the best flavor impact.
  • Adding Parmesan near the end allows it to toast without burning.
  • Adjust salt according to the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
