Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly, then pat them dry. Leave the skin on for extra texture, or peel them if you prefer.
Cut each sweet potato into evenly sized wedges. Aim for about ½-inch thickness to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl and drizzle them with olive oil. Toss to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the cornstarch mixture over the wedges and toss again until all the wedges are well coated with the seasoning.
Arrange the sweet potato wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching to allow for maximum crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip the wedges over using tongs or a spatula, then bake for an additional 15 minutes, or until crispy and golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce, or enjoy them as is!
