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