Crispy cheesy sweet potato bites with a golden Panko coating, parmesan and asiago cheese, and a drizzle of herbed butter. Perfect as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated asiago or manchego cheese
  • Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups Panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Extra virgin olive oil, for brushing
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh sage
  • 1 pinch chili flakes (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into bite-sized cubes.
  3. In a shallow bowl, mix parmesan, asiago (or manchego), Panko bread crumbs, paprika, cayenne, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Toss the sweet potato cubes in olive oil, then roll them in the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
  5. Arrange the coated cubes on the baking sheet, leaving space between them.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  7. Meanwhile, melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in thyme, sage, and chili flakes.
  8. Once baked, drizzle or brush the bites with herbed butter and serve hot.

Notes

Use smoked paprika for a deeper flavor.

Cheddar can replace asiago for variation.

Skip the butter drizzle for a lighter version.

Leftovers can be reheated in the oven at 375°F for about 10 minutes.

Air fryer option: cook at 375°F for 12–15 minutes, shaking halfway.
