  5. Place the baking sheet on the middle rack of the oven and roast for 15 minutes.
  6. Remove the tray, flip the sweet potatoes, and return to the oven for another 10 to 15 minutes.
  7. Sprinkle the 1/2 cup of Parmesan evenly over the hot sweet potatoes and roast for an additional 3 to 5 minutes.
  8. Remove from the oven and if desired, sprinkle lemon zest and parsley.
  9. Transfer to a serving platter and enjoy hot.

Notes

Cut sweet potatoes into uniform pieces for even cooking. For extra flavor, try adding rosemary or sage.
