Let's Cook

Step 1.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, combine 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar, ½ tablespoon olive oil, ⅛ teaspoon ground cinnamon, a pinch of cayenne, ¼ teaspoon kosher salt, and ⅛ teaspoon black pepper. Stir until well mixed.

Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan. Toss everything together until the wedges are evenly coated.

Step 3.
Arrange the sweet potatoes in a single even layer on a large rimmed baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan over the top.

Roast the sweet potatoes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through, until they are deep golden brown and tender, 50 to 60 minutes. Serve immediately.
