Ingrédients
Main Ingredients

- 2 tablespoons olive oil Can substitute with cooking spray for lower calories
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
- optional Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, then slice them into 1/2-inch thick medallions.
Coating
- In a large bowl, combine olive oil, garlic powder, thyme, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Stir until well mixed.
- Add the sweet potato medallions, tossing to ensure every piece gets coated in the flavorful mixture.
Baking
- Lay the coated medallions in a single layer on a baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
- Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the medallions.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the medallions are tender and have developed a golden brown crust.
Serving
- Check doneness with a fork. If cooked through, remove from the oven and let cool briefly.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For added flavor, consider substituting with garlic-infused oil or adding a splash of lemon juice before serving. Ensure medallions are evenly spaced on the baking sheet to achieve maximum crispiness.
