Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 1.5 teaspoons dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Leave the skin on for extra texture and nutrients, but you can peel them if desired.
Cut each sweet potato into wedges by slicing them in half lengthwise, then cutting each half into 3-4 equally sized wedges.
In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic cloves, dried oregano, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle the seasoned olive oil mixture over them, and toss until the wedges are evenly coated.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking tray, making sure not to overcrowd them to ensure crisp edges.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
Once the wedges are golden and tender, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly for a few minutes.
Transfer to a serving plate and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
