Herb & Parmesan Crusted Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are not only sweet, but also warm and stick-to-your-bones healthy. I love them prepared in all the ways: fries, roasted, casseroles, sweet, savory ... you name it! My daughter introduced me to a recipe that she says turns out every time and everyone loves! I've adapted it to create Herb & Parmesan Crusted Sweet Potatoes and my love for sweet potatoes has expanded even further!
One of the secrets to success is to toss the sweet potatoes with a starch. This starch could be corn starch (GMO free and organic, of course!), potato starch, arrowroot ... it all works.
You can use any herb that you want, of course. I like to match the herb to the other things I'm serving for dinner. That said, thyme is my absolute favorite! Always and forever. However, I think a mix of thyme, sage, and rosemary is amazing!
You can almost hear the crunch!
The secret is a bit of starch!
Put them in one layer and top them with freshly grated parmesan cheese.

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoons starch can use corn starch, potato starch, or arrowroot
- 2 medium sweet potatoes I prefer the orange-fleshed ones
- 2 Tablespoons avocado oil or other high heat point oil
- 2 Tablespoons fresh herbs I love thyme, but sage and rosemary would be awesome!
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated
- Celtic sea salt & freshly ground pepper to season
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into 1/4-inch rounds and toss in a large bowl with the starch to coat.
- Drizzle the oil over and toss again to coat.
- Add the herbs, cheese, salt and pepper and toss once again.
- Place the rounds on the prepared baking sheet in one layer and put it in the oven.
- Roast for 50 minutes, turning the rounds over halfway through. You want them fully cooked, crispy, and golden.
