PARMESAN SWEET POTATO WEDGES

Parmesan Sweet Potato Wedges image

I roast these sweet potato fries when I want a fun and different side. The crispy Parmesan coating is the best. We like mustard, but they're also great dipped in garlic aioli, barbecue sauce or even ketchup. -Amy Green, Carrollton, Texas
