Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium sweet potatoes
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon honey (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 lightly grease it with olive oil.
Wash and scrub the sweet potatoes thoroughly. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel. Cut each sweet potato into evenly sized wedges (about 6-8 wedges per potato depending on size).
In a large mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, sesame seeds, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. If using honey for a touch of sweetness, add it to the mixture.
Add the sweet potato wedges to the bowl and toss well to coat them evenly with the seasoning mixture.
Arrange the wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded. This helps them roast evenly and develop a crispy exterior.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, flipping the wedges halfway through cooking to ensure both sides become golden and crispy.
Remove the sweet potato wedges from the oven and let them cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh parsley if desired for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish, appetizer, or snack!
