Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425&# 194;°F (220ðC) and lightly grease a large baking sheet.
  2. Peel the sweet potatoes and cut each one lengthwise into 8 even wedges.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg, minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon of water until smooth.
  4. Add the potato wedges to the egg mixture and toss gently until they are evenly coated.
  5. In a separate shallow dish, combine the dry bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, basil, and oregano.
  6. Remove the wedges from the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, and roll them in the breadcrumb mixture to coat well.
  7. Arrange the coated wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they do not overlap.
  8. Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully flip each wedge over using a spatula.
  9. Continue baking for another 12 to 15 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender inside and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  10. Remove from the oven, let cool for a minute, and serve warm.
