Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 2 large sweet potatoes Choose firm, unblemished sweet potatoes for the best results.
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Rinse the sweet potatoes thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Peel them using a vegetable peeler.
  3. Slice the sweet potatoes into even wedges, about ½ inch thick.
  4. In a large bowl, combine the sweet potato wedges with olive oil, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper. Toss well until each wedge is evenly coated.
  5. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup. Arrange the wedges in a single layer.
Baking
  1. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping them halfway through. Watch them closely until they reach a beautiful golden brown color.
  2. Once baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve hot.

Notes

Top Tips: Opt for firm, unblemished sweet potatoes for best results. Feel free to experiment with spices, such as cayenne pepper or fresh herbs. Ensure wedges have enough space on the baking sheet to avoid steaming. Flipping halfway through ensures crunch on both sides. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 4 days or freeze for up to a month.
