Directions
1. To prepare the roasted sweet potatoes with garlic parmesan: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Prep your sweet potatoes by first cutting off the ends and slicing in rounds with a mandolin slicer or a sharp knife.
2. In a small bowl, combine parmesan, garlic, salt, pepper and Italian seasoning.
3. Arrange sweet potato slices on the baking sheet, slightly overlapping. Brush with melted butter and sprinkle the parmesan mixture over. Roast sweet potatoes at 400ºF (200°C) for 25 minutes.
4. In the meantime, cook bacon on the stove until crispy, drain from fat and then cut into small bits. This step is optional.
5. Remove roasted sweet potatoes from oven, sprinkle with bacon bits and fresh chopped parsley or chives. Serve immediately with a delicious grilled meat, or on its own, enjoy!
Note: Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the sweet potato slices. Cook 5 minutes more if necessary.
