Ingredients

  • 3 medium sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean (peeled if preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¾ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¾ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¾ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Slice sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, then into quarters and wedges about ½ inch thick. Try to keep all wedges similar in size.
  3. Place wedges in a large bowl and toss with olive oil to coat.
  4. In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, onion powder, and black pepper. Sprinkle over sweet potatoes and toss again to coat evenly.
  5. Spread wedges in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. If needed, use two sheets to avoid overcrowding.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes, then flip each wedge. Bake for another 5–10 minutes until tender and golden brown.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for extra crispiness, watching closely to prevent burning.
  8. Remove from oven, sprinkle with extra salt if desired, and serve hot.

Notes

  • Don’t overcrowd the baking sheet to ensure proper roasting.
  • Leave the skin on for added texture and nutrients.
  • Customize flavors with cayenne, rosemary, cumin, or cinnamon.
  • Serve with dipping sauces like garlic aioli, BBQ, or honey mustard.
  • Reheat in an oven or air fryer for best texture.
