how to make Oven-Roasted Garlic Parmesan Wings

You mix the wings with oil, garlic, salt, and spices. Spread them on a baking sheet so air moves around each wing. Bake until the skin is crisp and the meat is cooked. After that, add grated Parmesan and bake a little more so the cheese melts and browns. For a similar garlic-parmesan pairing with pasta and beef, check this beef and rotini in garlic-parmesan sauce.

FAQs

Q: Can I use drumettes or flats only?
A: Yes. Use any wing pieces. Adjust bake time if pieces are larger.

A: Yes. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for about 20–25 minutes, shaking or turning once.

Q: Will the Parmesan burn?
