Roasted Parmesan Herb Sweet Potatoes

I'm in a bit of a catchup mode with posting recipes. I have a bunch of new ones that I've tried and liked enough to keep around and make again, just haven't made the time to get them posted. First is the roasted sweet potatoes we had tonight. I don't know why I never thought to roast sweet potatoes, these were so good. I really liked that they were on the savory side, sometimes sweet potatoes can be too sweet with cinnamon and sugar. These were a great side dish with chicken seasoned with olive oil, salt, pepper, and some thyme.

3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced

3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil

4 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Spray a large baking pan with non-stick cooking spray or wipe with extra virgin olive oil or line with parchment paper. Set aside. In a medium bowl, combine olive oil, Parmesan cheese, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add diced sweet potatoes and toss to coat. Spread potatoes in an even layer on prepared pan. Bake 32-35 min, or until lightly browned and crispy. Remove from oven and let cool for 5 min. Sprinkle with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
