Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly and pat them dry. Cut each sweet potato into evenly sized wedges, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are thoroughly coated in the balsamic mixture.
Arrange the coated sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overlapping for even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through, until they are golden brown and tender when pierced with a fork.
If using, chop the fresh rosemary finely and sprinkle it over the roasted wedges during the last 5 minutes of cooking.
Remove from the oven and let the wedges cool slightly. Serve warm as a side dish or snack.
