Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into even 1-inch cubes.
Toss the cubes into a large mixing bowl and drizzle with 3 tablespoons of olive oil.
Add minced garlic, salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, thyme or Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Toss until coated.
Spread the seasoned sweet potato cubes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Roast for 15 minutes without stirring.
Flip the sweet potatoes using a spatula and return to the oven for another 10-15 minutes until tender and browned.
Sprinkle 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan over the hot sweet potatoes and roast for an additional 3-5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and add lemon zest and chopped parsley. Toss gently and adjust seasoning.
Transfer to a serving platter and serve hot.

For added flavor, let the potatoes marinate in the olive oil and seasonings for a few minutes before roasting.
