Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium-sized kumara (sweet potatoes)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup (grated) Gruyere cheese
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the kumara thoroughly, leaving the skins on for added texture and nutrients. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice each kumara into evenly sized wedges and transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the kumara wedges. Add the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Toss everything together until the wedges are evenly coated.
Spread the seasoned kumara wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap for even cooking.
Roast the wedges in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Then, flip them over and continue roasting for another 10 minutes, or until golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle the grated Gruyere cheese evenly over the hot kumara wedges.
Return the wedges to the oven and bake for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Carefully remove the wedges from the oven and transfer them to a serving platter.
Garnish with the chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately. Enjoy!
