Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 large sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly to remove any dirt. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Slice each sweet potato into wedges. First, cut them in half lengthwise, then slice each half into 4-6 wedges depending on the size of the potato.
In a large mixing bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss them until they are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overlapping to ensure even cooking.
Bake the sweet potato wedges in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, flipping them halfway through to get them golden and crispy on both sides.
Remove the wedges from the oven once they are tender on the inside and crisp on the outside.
If desired, sprinkle parmesan cheese over the wedges while they are still hot, allowing it to melt slightly. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your savory sweet potato wedges!
