2 large sweet potatoes, washed and sliced in half
2-3 TBS avocado or olive oil

Directions:
Preheat your oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Spread the parmesan into an even layer directly onto the parchment paper. Place the sweet potatoes cut-side down, pressing each one gently into the parmesan.
Drizzle with oil and season generously with salt and pepper
Roast for 30-35 minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are tender and the parmesan is crispy, golden, and lacy around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let everything rest for about 5 minutes so the parmesan can crisp up and set.
C arefully flip the sweet potatoes over and drizzle generously with hot honey while still warm.
Serve immediately and enjoy every crispy, cheesy bite.
These are the perfect side dish paired with your favorite protein, a big crunchy salad, or added to a cozy brunch spread.
These parmesan hot honey sweet potatoes are proof that nourishing meals can still feel exciting. Crispy, sweet, salty and finished with a little heat. The kind of side that keeps everyone reaching for "just one more".
