Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon optional herbs (rosemary, thyme, or parsley, chopped)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
Cut each sweet potato into wedges. To do this, slice the potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 3-4 evenly sized wedges.
Place the sweet potato wedges in a large mixing bowl.
Drizzle the olive oil over the sweet potato wedges and toss to coat them evenly.
In a small bowl, combine the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If using optional herbs, add them to the mix.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the sweet potato wedges and toss until each wedge is well-coated.
Spread the seasoned wedges out on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are in a single layer and not overlapping. This ensures even roasting.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure they are crispy on both sides.
Check for doneness by inserting a fork into a wedge; it should be tender on the inside and crisp on the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes. Serve immediately as a side dish or snack.
