Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium firm sweet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then cut each one into evenly sized wedges to ensure uniform cooking.
  2. Season the Wedges: In a large bowl, toss the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika. Make sure each wedge is fully coated for maximum flavor and crispiness.
  3. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the wedges in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent sticking. Avoid overcrowding to allow hot air to circulate for that perfect crisp.
  4. Roast Until Golden: Bake for about 25 to 30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the edges turn golden brown and crispy and the wedges are tender inside.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the oven and let the wedges cool slightly before serving so the crispiness settles in and the flavors meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Cut wedges as evenly as possible to ensure they cook uniformly.
  • Flip wedges halfway through baking to promote even crisping on all sides.
  • Let sweet potatoes sit at room temperature before cutting to bake more evenly.
  • Roast at high heat to achieve a crispy exterior with a tender interior.
  • Toss wedges with oil and seasoning immediately after cutting to enhance flavor penetration.
