Sweet Potato Wedges are a delicious and healthier alternative to regular potato fries. They are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Here’s a simple recipe to make Sweet Potato Wedges:
Cooking time: 25-30 minutes
Preparation time: 10 minutes
Ready time: 35-40 minutes
Serves: 2-4
Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Optional: additional seasonings of your choice (such as cayenne pepper, rosemary, or cinnamon)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
- Cut the sweet potatoes into wedges of equal size. Aim for a thickness of about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm).
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and any additional seasonings you prefer. Mix well.
- Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss them in the seasoning mixture until they are evenly coated.
- Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between them for even baking.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the sweet potato wedges are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside. Flip them halfway through the baking process for even cooking.
- Once cooked, remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the sweet potato wedges cool for a few minutes.
- Serve the Sweet Potato Wedges as a side dish or snack, along with your favorite dipping sauce or seasoning.
