Instructions

Preheat the oven. Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for baking the sweet potato bites to crispy perfection.
Prepare the sweet potatoes. Toss the cubed sweet potatoes in olive oil, salt, and black pepper ensuring every piece is evenly coated for flavor and crispiness.
Arrange on baking sheet. Spread the coated sweet potato cubes evenly on a baking sheet to promote uniform baking and crisp texture.
Bake the sweet potatoes. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping the bites halfway through to ensure even crisping on all sides.
Make the parmesan herb butter. While the sweet potatoes bake, whisk together melted butter, grated parmesan cheese, dried thyme, and dried rosemary in a bowl to create a flavorful coating.
Toss sweet potatoes in herb butter. Once baked, immediately toss the hot sweet potato bites with the parmesan herb butter mixture so the flavors meld beautifully.
Serve warm. Serve the crispy, herb buttery sweet potato bites warm as a delicious snack or side dish.

Notes

For extra crispiness, line the baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Try adding a pinch of smoked paprika or cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Use fresh herbs if available for an even more vibrant flavor.
Sweet potatoes can be substituted with regular potatoes, though cooking times may vary.
Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for best texture retention.
