Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into uniform 1-inch (2.5cm) chunks, placing them into a large mixing bowl.

Carefully remove the hot baking pan from the oven, line it with parchment paper, and spread the sweet potatoes into a single, even layer without overcrowding.

Roast for 20 to 25 minutes until the edges touching the pan begin to turn a dark golden-brown.

Remove the pan from the oven. Evenly scatter the minced garlic and freshly grated parmesan cheese over the partially roasted potatoes.
