How to Make Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Garlic Walnut Crumbs
You can cut the sweet potatoes in any way you prefer. For this recipe, I opted for large wedges by cutting them into halves and quarters. However, you can also dice them into cubes and roast them for a shorter time.
Walnut Crumb Topping
While the sweet potatoes take center stage in this recipe, it’s the walnut crumb topping that truly elevates the dish. Made with a blend of parsley, walnuts, garlic, chili, and lemon zest, this topping adds a burst of flavor to every bite. The raw garlic and chili may seem intense, but they mellow out when combined with the sweet potatoes.
If you prefer a smoother texture, you can transform the crumb topping into a pesto-like consistency by adding olive oil and lemon juice. Drizzle it over the sweet potatoes for an extra burst of flavor.
